The new Telecommunications Bill, aimed at modernizing regulations, has been approved by Parliament in India. The bill grants the government temporary control over telecom services for national security reasons and introduces a non-auction route for allocating satellite spectrum. It is set to replace the Indian Telegraph Act of 1885 and the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1933, pending presidential assent. The Rajya Sabha passed the bill through a voice vote after a brief debate, with the opposition abstaining.
