Sector pressures

What makes telecom & media compliance hard

01

Authorisation conditions replace licence conditions

The Telecommunications Act, 2023 moved to an authorisation framework, and the migration changes the specific obligations attached to each service.

02

Content obligations with grievance timelines

IT Rules impose grievance officer appointment, defined response timelines and a three-tier redressal structure for digital media publishers.

03

Six-hour cyber reporting on top of CERT-In

Telecom cyber security rules add a sector-specific reporting duty alongside the general CERT-In obligation, with overlapping but distinct triggers.

04

Right of way across states and municipalities

Infrastructure deployment requires permissions from state and local authorities, each with its own rules, fees and timelines.

“We had one incident process built for CERT-In and discovered the telecom rules had a different trigger list. Running two processes was never going to work.”
