“India's media market is changing fast. With more people watching 'OTT Video' and still using Cable TV, it's clear that our audience wants a mix of entertainment options. At Excitel, we firmly believe that delivering this experience requires innovative solutions that leverage the power of the Internet. Our collaboration with Amazon Prime marks a significant step towards this vision. By offering Prime Lite with Excitel which combines Amazon's entertainment and shopping benefits with our affordable internet plans, we're creating a new era of home entertainment that blends OTT, TV, and the power of the internet,” Vivek Raina, Founder and CEO of Excitel Broadband said.
Meanwhile, the government has assigned 160 mobile phone series for making transactional and service voice calls for all entities regulated by RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and PFRDA in the first phase. This is intended to prevent citizens from being deceived by fraudsters. Once the 160 mobile series is implemented, it will facilitate the easy identification of the calling entity.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) met with representatives from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), and other financial institutions, as well as all the telecom service providers (TSPs).
