He mentioned that this entire process will benefit the government to make comprehensive decisions. "This is the reason we are doing it independent of TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India)," Prasad added.

The internal panel, which will do the study and submit the report, consist of six members.

In March, telecom regulator TRAI has released a paper inviting comments from users and companies on how over-the-top services should be regulated in the country.

It has asked stakeholders to send suggestions by April 24 and counter arguments need to be submitted by May 8.
