Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) is contemplating implementing a caller identification mechanism
Caller’s KYC-based name to flash on phone screens when someone calls
TRAI has received a reference to begin consultation on the same from the Department of Telecom (DoT)
It would be a significant move if executed as the mechanism will identify callers as per their KYC
And bring greater transparency than some apps that identify callers based on crowdsourcing data
TRAI has also implemented blockchain technology to curb the problem of unsolicited commercial communication (UCC) or spam calls and messages
