Finally TRAI ( telephone regulatory authority of INDIA) has decided that if people want they can subscribe to do not disturb calls and messages from mobile companies.
TRAI also announced that there will be only 100 messages that any customer can send with in a day.well a shocker for the youngsters and college students, since their life runs only o these messages.

A good step indeed. people like us will get relief from unwanted message and calls. The message to some extent tolerable but the calls are disgusting. You are in a serious talk, a call from unknown number, you received and heard a Song.

The discussion is about sending SMS. (That means the Mobile Service providers are still free to disturb who hasn't subscribed for 'DND' service. 
)
When there is an option for subscribing to 'Do Not Disturb' service, this decision by TRAI is totally ridiculous, I feel. They are not ready to take the commitment of punishing the spammer. Instead they put restriction to everyone. Totally mindless decision, with an attitude of "I'm not affected. I don't care whoever is affected."

Yeah,it is really shocking.It's a worth-less step taken by TRAI.
What is the point/reason behind limited SMS per day.Now-a-days everyone has lots of friends & relatives and msg is the common way to communicate with them.Except all this,We are not sending any unwanted msg to unknown,we only msg to those whom we know very well.
Personally i feel there is a lot of weak point in TRAI Regulation.I will not register my no. in NDNC,they will block informative SMS too along with unwanted sms.

It's really a mindless move. I would say it's very rude decision, just because those officials don't use the SMS.
Not only the youngsters and students, there are many business that largely depend on SMS, say, many stock broking companies are sending stock alerts to their clients via SMS. (Even my business depends on SMS. I have more than 500 clients and I send at least 3000 SMS alerts to my clients daily.)
Instead of restricting the number of SMS, they could have provided a separate numbers for making complaints. They should have set up a authority for taking action on the complaints. And the complaining procedure should also be simple.
Ridiculous restriction.
