The TMT in Law is Technology, Media, and Telecommunicatfions law. TMT has greatly simplified the work of attorneys. This dynamic field of law deals with the production, sharing, and application of information on all media platforms, including print, broadcast, and the rapidly developing digital space.
The Press and Registration Books Act of 1867 and the Right to Information Act of 2005 marked the beginning of TMT in the media sector; the Indian Wireless Telegraph Act (the year 1933) and the National Digital Communication Policy (the year 2018) marked the beginning of the telecommunications industry; and the introduction of AI lawyers began in 1953 when dictating machines were first supplied to law firms. The TMT sector has drastically changed for legal companies.
