@Johnson The boundry issue is just the 6th point. As a GIS practitioner, I'm more concerned with the earlier 5 points, which prevent me from storing, analysing and disseminating any kind of GIS Data, and its outputs. Regards, Devdatta On Fri, May 6, 2016 at 11:25 AM, Johnson Chetty

@Srinivas: This bill isn't applicable to Government organizations. It will be a strange thing though. It will be legal for ISRO/Bhuvan to offer this data for download, but not legal for you and me to collect it without a permit. I actually understand their intent behind this bill. They want to

I hope there will be some further deliberation and review over this bill. The core issue pertains primarily to the disputed border regions and not of India as a whole. On 6 May 2016 at 11:21, srinivas kodali wrote: > @Devdatta: that essentially means we can't use ISRO's

We can't just respond. We need to build a coalition of partners and businesses who are opposed. We need to also write opeds and editorials on why this is a bad policy for India and for economic growth. Can we get a list together of businesses and organizations that use GIS and build awareness on
