WhatsApp, Telegram calls could end? Telecom companies alarmed by DoT decision

Telecom companies have repeatedly urged the telecom department to regulate the increasing popularity of calling services offered by social media apps.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has recently made an important decision regarding free audio and video calling through apps like WhatsApp and Telegram. This decision comes after telecom operators like Airtel, Jio, and Vodafone-Idea had been pushing for a ban on calling through these apps. The DoT has chosen not to impose a ban on calls made through these apps at this time, which has been a setback for the telecom companies.
