IT for Change's response to TRAI's pre-consultation paper on cloud computing

IT for Change made a submission to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India in response to the call for comments on the Pre-Consultation Paper on Cloud Computing. The response at the outset stresses that any discussions on the digital, like cloud computing, must be made in awareness of the fact that the digital is transforming all social systems and institutions and a new regulatory framework will be required to take such a wider view of the involved public interest
The regulation of cloud computing, the submission argues, must be dependent on issues like the size and monopoly nature (or not) of the enterprise and societal importance of the cloud service. Further, international agreements are especially important because of the cross broder implications of Cloud Computing.
