Government Dissolves 37-Year-Old Digital Communications Commission
The Indian government has dissolved the Digital Communications Commission (DCC), an apex telecom decision-making body established in 1989 and renamed in 2018. The DCC, comprising senior officials from various ministries, handled key telecom policies, including spectrum pricing and recommendations from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. Its last meeting on September 3 finalized decisions on satellite communication spectrum, which now await Cabinet approval. The dissolution was notified on September 19, ending the commission's 37-year role in telecom governance.
