No proposal to withdraw national roaming charges on mobile: Government
25.11.2010 (UNI) The Centre has no proposal to withdraw the national roaming charges on mobile phones. In a written reply, Minister of State for Communications and Technology Sachin Pilot informed the Rajya Sabha that at present, the government has no such proposal to withdraw the national roaming charges on mobile phones.
To a question if the government also proposes to bring a zero rental scheme for the benefit of post-paid mobile users, Mr Pilot replied, ‘Regulation of tariff has been mandated to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) vide the TRAI Act of 1997. As per the current tariff framework in vogue, tariff for mobile services is under forbearance except for roaming services. The operators have flexibility to offer different tariff package including zero rental schemes targeted at different customer user groups, subject to the condition that these tariffs have to be consistent with the regulatory principles of non-discrimination, non-predation and inter-connection usage charges compliance and are to be reported to TRAI within seven days of introduction.’ UNI
