Which body launched the Network Anubhav Platform?

  1. A.Department of Telecommunications
  2. B.Telecom Regulatory Authority of India
  3. C.Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited
  4. D.Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal

Correct answer

B. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India

Explanation

The correct answer is the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. TRAI launched the Network Anubhav Platform as a geospatial and analytical dashboard that brings together test data sent in by users through its MySpeed and MyCall apps and the results of its own independent drive tests, and that also opens a web interface for Do Not Disturb services. Option A is wrong because the Department of Telecommunications is the policy arm of the Ministry of Communications and not the regulator that runs these consumer apps. Option C is a public sector telecom operator, that is one of the service providers whose performance such a platform measures, so it could not be the launching body. Option D is the tribunal that settles telecom disputes and hears appeals, a judicial forum with no role in publishing network measurement dashboards. Aspirants should also note the Chairman of TRAI, Anil Kumar Lahoti.
