Indian corporate giants Tata have a presence in the telecom sector in the domestic market and they are now urging the telecom industry to give a commitment to the Government that it would complete 100 per cent address verification of the subscriber base.

This comes after the recent Mumbai bomb blast. Tata Teleservices delivered a letter to various telecom bodies and companies saying: “Industry has no choice except to commit to the Government that it will do everything necessary to complete 100 per cent address verification for the subscriber base, pre-paid and postpaid.”

However, this is not a view shared by other telecom players in the country who say that it would be way too expensive and complicated to achieve. Tata Group had in the past asked the telecom operators in the country to come out with a feasible solution to iron out differences on subscriber identification.

No matter how many rules the Indian government has setup for the telecom players; it has been relatively easier for the consumer in the Indian market to get a mobile connection. They just need some documents that can easily be forged and few companies take the pain to manually verify the addresses of the subscribers.
