TEMA India raises Issue of Defiance by DOT
The Indian Telecom Equipment Manufacturers Association (TEMA) in a communication with the Honorable Prime Minister, Government of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh and the Honorable Minster of Communications & IT Shri Kapil Sibal has claimed to raise the issue of defiance by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
According to the communication with the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and Communications Minister's Office, TEMA has supposed to be raised the issue of slackness on the part of the Department of Telecommunications in terms of implementing the directions laid down in the National Telecom Policies of 1994 & 1999 relating to the local telecom equipment induction in the national telecom networks.
Ashok K. Aggarwal, Honorary Director General, Telecom Equipment Manufacturers Association said, "Both the earlier National Telecom Policies of 1994 and 1999 had suggested the induction of indigenous telecom equipment manufactured by the Indian telecom equipment manufacturers which was endorsed by the Parliament of India are being held hostage by the officials of the Department of Telecommunication. The draft NTP-2011 released recently also contains similar positive suggestions and directions."
