A handful of mobile operators, including Bharti Airtel , Idea Cellular , Reliance Communications and BSNL, are yet to submit compliance reports on accuracies achieved by them for detection of exact user location to DoT. In a reminder dated January 15, 2014, the Department of Telecom (DoT) asked operators to submit reports for accuracies achieved by them in implementing location-based services.

"Compliance reports from telecom service providers, except Tata Teleservices , Vodafone India, MTNL, SSTL, Aircel, Telewings Communications and Videocon Telecommunications, is still awaited," DoT said in the reminder. DoT said operators were asked to submit the compliance report with respect to accuracies achieved so far by them, which can be used as input for deciding the methodology of measurement and for preparing roadmap for implementation of the accuracies.

Operators were also mandated to provide location details of 50 percent of subscribers within 300 metres in semi-urban and rural areas of Jammu and Kashmir, Assam and other northeastern states.
