This article describes the current telecom ecosystem’s workflow for the commercial distribution of advertising messages. Here, we contrast the current telecom ecosystem workflow with a blockchain-based workflow to solve the unsolicited commercial communication (UCC) problem. Blockchain technology and its effects on telecom are explained. We are talking about the technological and legislative approaches to deal with the spam problem. The discussion is limited to the Indian context.Downloads
