DoT Issues Order to E-Commerce Website for Removing Signal Booster Listings
As we are aware of already, mobile signal boosters reduce the overall service quality provided by a telecom operator. An official statement from DoT said mobile network boosters are becoming a major reason for poor service quality from telcos. This is the reason behind the DoT asking e-commerce websites to pull down the listings of signal boosters. “Online platforms have also been issued notices to remove listings of illegal repeaters from their website and such companies have responded positively,” said Amit Gautam, part of Wireless Monitoring Organisation. This news is first reported by Press Trust of India.
The Wireless Monitoring Organisation has conducted raids on December 22 and 23 in South Mumbai’s LT Marg, Masjid Bunder, Bhoiwada, Zaveri Bazar, Kolsa Street, Nagdevi Street, Abdul Rahman Street, Narayan Dhuru Street and Sarang Street. Similarly, it also conducted raids across Agra and Mathura as well.
