India’s telecom regulator will go full throttle on data privacy, ownership and security consultations and expects that its recommendations — likely to be ready in two months — will provide inputs for a government-created committee on data protection.

The regulator’s suggestions on the other burning issue of net neutrality will be brought out within a month, keeping in mind the local dynamics, said RS Sharma, chairman of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.

“We’re clear that whatever net neutrality recommendations we give, they will be for the Indian context, which is very unique, where internet is playing a very developmental role. So, whatever rules that we come up with will be in harmony with our developmental objectives and our country’s interests,” Sharma said.

The other point of discussion in the net neutrality paper, for which the Trai has sought views, is regulation of devices.
