I have ordered a bluetooth GPS receiver for geotagging my photographs. I have received a notification from Chennai customs asking for WPC license. Do you require a license for operating a GPS receiver. If yes, how are mobile phones having GPS being used?
Also I can't seem to find where I can obtain this license.
Dear cprogrammer,
This is Govt policy issue.No comments can be offered.You may contact Ministry of IT and Communication for clarification.
All mobile phone operator are allocated certain frequency by the DOT to offer certian services .Thus they are regulated by the Govt.
