Apple, Trai faceoff may end soon, says report

Apple is making an alternative solution that could end the stand-off between the iPhone maker and Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), reported Business Standard quoting a government source.

Apple is developing an application which will comply with the regulations of the country, the report said, adding that it could be made available to the users of the iPhone before Diwali.

The telecom regulator in a bid to counter pesky calls has ordered all service providers to ensure within six months that all smartphone devices registered on its networks support the functioning of the ‘do not disturb’ (DND) app.
