Will Cloud Computing in India be Governed by the Law?

India is witnessing a rapid adoption of cloud computing technology to store, process and manage data for smooth functioning of various operations in the Government, Public and Private organizations. DOT has sought recommendations from TRAI on regulations of Cloud based services in India. In response, TRAI initiated Consultation Paper on cloud computing to seek advice from the industry and the stakeholders. These suggestions and guidelines will assist while enforcing law(s) on Cloud in India.

With the advent of mobile computing, Mobile applications on cloud will account for 90% of worldwide mobile data traffic by 2019, compared to 81% at the end of last year.
