OSPs or other service providers are companies or firms which provide secondary or tertiary services such as telemarketing, telebanking, or telemedicine for various companies, banks or hospital chains , respectively. Hence Statement A is Correct. As computers made their foray into the Indian information technology space, a number of such OSPs, which were either voice or non-voice based, came into the market. The sector required minimal investment but gave great returns in business , which prompted a large number of individuals and companies to float other service providing firms. To start services in India, OSPs had to register themselves with the Department of Telecommunication and declare to the government as to how many employees were working in the firm as well as the area of service it was engaged in. Hence statement B is Correct.
