telecom industry has concerns regarding the data protection law, including the fact that the age gating provision as a validation mechanism lacks specifics, and has sought two years' time for its implementation. Telecom operators say that in conventional consent-taking methods, like for a customer acquisition form (CAF), a person gives consent with Know Your Customer (KYC) details.
