1. We are an ISP, we've applied for the license from the Department of Telecom
2. The Telecom Regulatory of Authority of India has just recommended stopping the use of OTP. We really like that.

Was there any article regarding this?

I've linked to the paper below, the money quote is "Authentication through OTP should be done away with"

Two questions:
1. Does this mean you are an ISP? If so, how did you go about registering as an ISP.
2. Most other WiFi (ex: at Cafe Coffee Day) requires one to register via SMS and pay by credit card. So the mobile number and Credit Card number becomes the primary key for our Government's Big Brother program to track the person. Have you side-stepped that by selling tokens that one can purchase anonymously using cash?
