Trai’s take on call drops in 2 weeks

NEW DELHI: As mobile users continue to grapple with call drops, telecom regulator Trai on Friday said current norms are “inefficient” to provide any relief to consumers and it will finalise in two weeks its “position” in the wake of Supreme Court quashing a penalty provision.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) had put in place a new set of rules mandating telecom operators to pay Re 1 for each dropped call, subject to maximum Rs 3 per day, but this provision was quashed by the Supreme Court after telecom operators appealed against the regulatory diktat.
