India Suspending Video Calls
India, 3G network operators, Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices are appealing against an order from the Department of Telecoms (DoT) to suspend their video calling services. The two networks argue that the order - related to state security - is discriminatory as the two state-owned networks, MTNL and BSNL are still permitted to provide video calls. The DoT order requires that the private operators suspend the service until they are able to provide live monitoring of the video calls. Bharti Airtel is also reported to have received the same order blocking it from launching video services in the future.
