The Ultimate guide to TRAI DLT Template Registration

  What is DLT or Distributed Ledger Technology? The DLT is a kind of shared database in a large network and each user or participant can use and update it independently. The ledger keeps track of all the transactions made by the network participants. Every record will have a unique cryptographic signature and a timestamp that aids in auditing and preventing fraudulent transactions. TRAI has made some regulations that require the telcos to record the preference of users on a preference registry and the consent on a consent registry using DLT. The user can withdraw the consent at any time if the service is no longer relevant or if the consent is abused. These regulations are in a bid to secure the user’s information through cryptography and also to have bookkeeping based on consensus. By obtaining consensus from the user, the risk of frauds is reduced as all transactions are done only after getting consent from the participants.   What should the Telcos do? The DLT is one of its kind technology that prevents customer information to be leaked. As per the rules laid out by TRAI, telecom operators have to use blockchain technology to increase confidentiality, make their application, non-repudiative, and also prevent subscriber’s data from being accessed without authorization. It also helps to prevent unwanted calls as well as spam SMS.   The marketing companies or other businesses that want to send promotional messages to DND (Do not disturb).  Customers will have to get consent every year using the DLT platform. This applies even to users who have already given their consent but that can be misused. The new system has an app from TRAI where the consent can be revoked by the mobile subscriber whenever desired.   SMS templates that are approved by telemarketers will also be needed by enterprises. After the DLT platform goes live, the enterprises will have to register and get their sender IDs with the telemarketers. The process of getting the sender IDs is the same as registering a domain. Once the unique sender ID is obtained it is blocked under the name of the registrant across all the telecom operators and can only be used by the registered company.   After the failure of the DND registry and the current regulations, the TRAI expects the use of a blockchain-based DLT platform to bring more success in the prevention of financial frauds and spam calls. Telecom marketers who use SMS services have started upgrading their platforms. For example, Sandeshlive upgraded the application to follow DLT rules. That allows authorized marketing agencies to send messages to subscribers who have opted to receive SMS and calls.   DLT will make TRAIs forensics easy as it will help to quickly find those who breach the guidelines. It exposes both, the agencies that send spam SMS and those users who lie about DND preference. There is also less chance of data breach.

Telco’s will charge 0.02 INR per massage as a DLT service fees.
