Recently, the Ministry of Communications released the Draft Indian Telecommunications Bill, 2022 (“Draft Bill”), which seeks to bring sweeping reforms in the telecom sector of the country. The significance of the Bill has increased manifold due to its expansive nature and character, which seeks to include social media platforms and OTT communication services within the ambit of ‘telecommunication services.’ The Draft Bill aims to make up for the changing dynamics and advances in technology and telecom regulatory framework by consolidating the present archaic telecom legislations, namely, the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885; the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1833; and the Telegraph Wires (Unlawful) Possession Act, 1950. This article analyses the extensive powers granted to the government and its likelihood of misuse. It further argues how certain provisions are violative of the fundamental rights of individuals and lastly, the article discusses the unwarranted dissolution of powers of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.

Indian gamers have a 13% share of global game sessions and are expected to add 40 million online gamers during 2020−22. A significant part of India’s gaming industry consists of real money gaming. The increasing popularity of real money games has led to problems such as addiction, misleading advertisements, overspending by users etc. This has led states enacting knee-jerk legislations imposing blanket bans on real money games.
