1) Answer: D
The Telecom Tariff (69th Amendment) Order 2022 on Tariff for SMS and Cell Broadcast Alerts Disseminated Through Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Platform During Disasters/Non-Disasters was issued by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
The Department of Telecom (DoT) asked TRAI to provide pricing for SMS and cell broadcast alerts and messages that TSPs will disseminate via the CAP platform during both disasters and non-disasters.
The Authority has decided that no fees shall be assessed for such SMS/Cell Broadcast Alerts or messages sent either during a disaster, before notification of disaster, or after the disaster has passed, taking into account the importance of alerts or messages sent by directions issued under the Disaster Management Act, 2005.
For events where a specific request for free-of-charge messages is made by NEC/NCMC/SEC/Nodal Authorities, DOT only permits SMS/Cell Broadcast free of charge for a set amount of time.
However, there are times when the government would like to alert the populace to a potential disaster or times when the populace needs to be informed of special events like the holding of relief, vaccination, medical, and camp events, as well as times when specific law and order-related situations arise.
