India could finally get mobile number directories and directory inquiry service
The department of telecommunications (DoT) has asked the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) to furnish its recommendations to get the mobile service providers in the country to launch mobile number directories.
The mobile service providers could also be forced to open up directory inquiry services to help the users locate people.
If this is implemented, India would join the list of few developed nations and European Union where it is mandatory for mobile operators to publish a directory for end-users.
The cellular industry has been opposing this move claiming that the mobile users in India tend to keep their numbers private and this would become a major concern for their customers.
They also claimed that such a directory would be used by marketing companies to harass the people escalating the existing problems of mobile junk calls.
Let’s hope they would provide a provision for the mobile user to get their number unlisted from any of these directories in case they want to keep their number private.

I believe that publishing mobile users’ directory should be mandatory in contrast with the mobile service providers’ claim that it would lead to mobile spamming. Such a claim is useless and even after having opted to be in the no call list i get hundreds of advertizing calls coming to my phone everyday. so I believe there could be two reasons why the MSP dont wanna make the directory one, it would prevent them illegally selling the mobile numbers two they would be forced to keep the no call list a true one.

There is one more thing which should be considered with deep thoughts that once the directory is in place it would be easier to track criminals and their accomplice. So i believe mobile users’ phone directory must be made mandatory though.

Also considering the organized crime rate growth in India and most of these criminals heavily rely upon the usage of mobile phones, the mobile directory will help a great deal in tracking them and their accomplices. So i dont see no reason why the mobile phone directory be a controversial one at least while considering the National security and the welfare of the common people.
