It also defines telematics applications as any kind of application which uses the internet to transmit voice, images, data, content based services, e-commerce, as well as other services provided through applications. So, pretty broad.
One of the points in the draft declares that every telematics provider is required to submit payment based on a percentage of revenue which is separate from existing taxes. Another point states that providers are required to obtain permission from the Minister (of communication and information) for each application released.
