New Delhi, Telecom regulator TRAI has invited views on transfer of ownership of SIM connections that are used for machine-to-machine communications such as remote patient tracking, remote diagnostic tools, alerts from monitoring systems etc.
Provision for transfer of SIM ownership is available in case of consumers but there are no such norms in case of machine-to-machine (M2M) communication.
"Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has today issued a consultation paper on 'Issues relating to critical services in the M2M sector and transfer of ownership of M2M SIMs'," TRAI said in a statement.
The regulator is also considering defining critical applications for which SIM ownership transfer should be allowed. TRAI has fixed July 22 as the last date for comments and August 5 for counter comments.
