Dei TRAI, you spend majority of time regulating useless
things and not focusing on what is useful for the citizens. Not sure what is
your motive, to help the citizens or to help MNCs. Day by day your atrocities are
becoming too much and unbearable. Let me start one by one. First, you said ‘everyone
who needs a pre-paid sim should submit identity proof and a photograph’, the
reason you gave is to prevent sim cards being misused by terrorists and
miscreants.
Dei anyone with a common sense would know that if the
terrorist is able to get hold of a A.K.47 and a bomb, they would face no
problem in getting a ration card Xerox or passport photo! I don’t know how you
decided having a photocopy of ration card will help combat terrorism! You
started this stupidity and now everywhere we go they ask for a Passport photo and a ID proof. For
travelling in a train we show the ID, for browsing internet in a net cafe we
show the ID however for buying alcohol or cigarettes no one asks for an ID!
Second, you restricted the no.of SMSs to 100/day even if we
pay for the SMS booster. Any message that is sent beyond the 100 messages will
be charged as per normal rates. The reason you gave is to prevent companies
from sending unsolicited marketing messages and terrorism. Don’t you have any
common sense when issuing such circulars? If you want to restrict marketing
messages you should be regulating the companies, not the poor guy who is
chatting with his girlfriend/s. After 100 SMS limit, he is forced to end the
conversation!
And how on earth do you think 100sms/day limit would stop
terrorism? As in, “Yolo, we are planning to bomb Poonam Pandey’s home”
“Ya bro, that sounds cool. When?”
“Ouch man, my SMS limit is over. We should continue this
discussion tomorrow”
Your biggest atrocity was when you reduced the SMS limit to
just 5 per day. Many guys decided ‘if I receive all 5 SMSs from her, I’m gonna
marry her’. I don’t know if the 100 SMS limit has reduced spam messages or terrorism,
but what it has definitely reduced is the no.of forward msgs or jokes we used
to receive every day. In fact you have killed the forward SMS totally. But do
you guys not know of the existence of Whatsapp/Viber/We Chat? If someone is
serious about causing violence or unrest, surely they know of better ways to
spread the news than age old SMS?
Why don’t you expedite some of the more pressing issues like
No.portability and cutting down roaming charges across India? There are not
many countries in the world where people are charged a premium rate for going
to another state. Many relationships have broken down because the boy/girl got
a job in another state! Just because the P.M of this country doesn't speak
much, doesn’t mean we also don’t like speaking.
You give licenses for different
circles but the politicians only are circling around Swiss bank with spectrum
money. Non sense it is, you and your useless regulations!
