Team Blitz India
WASHINGTON: Top global information and communications technology (ICT) firms, including Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, have made a strong representation to the US government against India’s move to license import of laptops, tablets, personal computers and servers from November 1.
Eight industry, associations whose membership also includes the likes of AMD, HP, Dell, Intel, Cisco, Samsung, IBM, Meta, and Micron, have written to United States Trade Representative, Katherine C Tai, and US commerce secretary Gina M Raimondo.
They have said the US Government should urge the Indian Government to reconsider implementation of this policy and launch a stakeholder consultation to formally solicit recommendations from industry and all relevant stakeholders.
