DoT Directs ISPs to Adopt .IN Domains and Sync ICT Systems
The Department of Telecom (DoT) wants all internet service providers (ISPs) to use .IN website addresses for important services.
This helps keep things organized online.
The DoT also wants the computers and systems that ISPs use to be in sync with accurate time servers.
This involves information and communication technology (ICT), which is how information is stored, sent, and handled.
The DoT is also involved in licensing and overseeing ISPs to make sure they follow the rules.
Finally, there are new rules about time that are being discussed to ensure everyone is using the same standard time.
DoT directs ISPs to adopt .IN domains for essential services.
ISPs are asked to sync ICT systems with NTP servers of NIC or NPL.
ICT involves communication tech convergence for information management.
The DoT regulates and licenses ISPs.
Draft rules on Indian Standard Time are under consultation.
