New norms for 3G video calls soon - 0 views

  •  
    The government will soon issue guidelines to address security concerns over 3G video calls. "3G issue is almost resolved. Soon you will have new guidelines," communications and IT minister Kapil Sibal said. Yesterday, home minister P Chidambaram had said that telecom service providers neeed to work out the modalities to provide interception facilities to the security agencies, and only after that can the 3G mobile services be rolled out. The department of telecommunications (DoT) had asked Tata Teleservices and Reliance Communications to stop commercial launch of 3G mobile services, including video calling facility. The law enforcement agencies were not able to intercept the video calls on a real time basis. The contents of video calls were displayed only after five minutes. The operators had offered to provide an interception solution in the next six months.

Nod for video calls on 3G networks - 0 views

  •  
    The Union government on Thursday permitted carriage of video calls on 3G mobile networks subject to an undertaking by the operators that they would provide interception capability by July 31. The Tatas and the RCom have already launched the 3G service across various circles, while others, including Bharti and Vodafone, are likely to start the service soon. Those offering the service were asked to stop the service as security agencies were not able to intercept the video calls on real-time basis.

CHENNAI:Police working with telecom companies to analyse 3G challenges - 0 views

  •  
    CHENNAI: Ahead of full-fledged 3G services coupled with Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in Tamil Nadu, the Chennai Police are working with telecom companies here to analyse the challenges these services could throw up, particularly cyber crimes. While insisting on a foolproof mechanism to ensure genuineness of the address/documents of subscribers as per TRAI guidelines, the police have asked mobile phone service providers to focus more on pre-paid numbers. A fortnight ago, Additional Commissioner of Police (Headquarters) Sanjay Arora held discussions with representatives of 10 service providers in this regard, police sources said. On the instructions of Police Commissioner T. Rajendran, senior officers, including those handling cyber crimes in the Central Crime Branch, held a brainstorming session with experts on Tuesday.

Financial Express : Video calls to resume soon, interception fix in 6 months - 0 views

  • Private mobile operators like Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices can restart providing video calls as part of their 3G services in the New Year. This comes after the security imbroglio between the operators and the security agencies was resolved a couple of days back with the former giving an undertaking that within the next six months, they would start providing real-time interception of video calls. Currently, such calls can be monitored with a time lag of five to eight minutes, prompting security agencies to ask the operators to stop providing video calls. A tripartite agreement is being drafted between the security agencies, telecom industry associations and the DoT that real-time monitoring of such calls will be available in the next six months failing which such calls will be barred.
