GS Paper 3 (Science and Technology / Communications) and GS Paper 2 (regulatory bodies, consumer protection). Issue: consumers lack reliable information on network quality and face unsolicited commercial communication; provision: TRAI Act, 1997 mandates quality-of-service regulation and consumer protection; implication: transparency can drive operator accountability and informed consumer choice. Way forward: crowdsourced data needs validation, enforceable quality benchmarks and penalties, and stronger action against spam.
