- TRAI’s Do-Not-Call registry witnesses 5 million subscribers within the first day of launch:
Over 5 million people had already chosen not to take unsolicited commercial calls on September 5, the first day that the National Do Not Call (NDNC) Registry officially opened. The sheer numbers — around 2.5% of India’s over 190 million mobile subscribers — reveal just how much people resent pesky sales calls. Considering that prepaid subscribers — who are much less of a target for telemarketers — form a huge percentage of all subscribers, this figure of 5 million assumes even greater significance. - Trai opens door for cable operators` foray into IPTV
