The Centre has mooted a proposal to set up a company that will be owned by all telecom operators and will be responsible for managing, maintaining and building communication networks for them. All international equipment suppliers, Nokia Siemens, Ericsson, Huawei, and Alcatel Lucent, among others, will execute contracts for all service providers through this company, if this proposal becomes reality.

The proposal must first be discussed between different ministries as well with all telecom operators to examine its feasibility. It also adds that further discussions should be held to gauge if the government can mandate all maintenance contracts to be directed through this national maintenance firm. The operation and maintenance of telecom networks should be entirely by Indian engineers and dependence of foreign engineers should be minimal or nil within a period of two years

All gear makers from abroad will have to manufacture core telecom equipment locally or momentarily transfer technology to Indian manufacturers within a three-year period. In case of non-compliance of the transfer of technology clause, the vendor/service provider shall be penalized. Criminal proceedings would also be started in this case. So users, by this, do you think a nodal vendor for mobile companies address security concerns?

The whole process of managing, maintaining and building communication network and setting up a separate company for them is a very good idea. In this way, there will be a group of people who will be solely concentrating on the networks and the more focus is being done on network, the more security can be maintained for the network.

humm, i think it can address security concern and a proper monitoring can be done, but i fear that it can also add an extra layer of hierarchy and as we have seen in case of bsnl and mtnl, it can cause delays in procurement. I am sure that many private operators won't be willing to support it unless it is forced on them

Its very difficult to answer this question.  If nodel vendor is a group of vendors then there are chances to formulate the policies which suits to partner vendors.  This may lead to further concerns and land in legal disputes, which will take years to resolve the matter.

Where the national security of networks are concerned, there has to be a vendor independent body to formulate, audit and correct the policies.

May be like training group of thieves to become an police inspector....
