India's TRAI directs telcos to share AI-detected spam CLIs on blockchain
Change
India's TRAI directed all mobile operators to publish AI/ML-flagged suspected spam calling-line identifiers on a common blockchain-based distributed ledger within two hours of flagging and to act against senders even without user complaints, with firms required to comply within 30 days of the February 27 directions.
Why it matters
Operators must move from complaint-driven enforcement to proactive, AI-triggered enforcement and coordinate between originating and terminating networks to investigate flagged numbers. A shared distributed ledger creates cross-operator visibility that enables identification of repeat senders and automatic escalation when multiple CLIs from the same sender are flagged within a 10-day window.
Implications
- • Terminating mobile operators' AI/ML spam-detection teams must flag suspected spam CLIs based on behavioural parameters and publish those flagged CLIs to the common DLT platform within two hours of flagging.
- • Originating mobile operators' compliance and KYC teams must contact flagged senders to inform them of the flag and to obtain or verify KYC identifiers before further action.
