Rural telephony my top priority: Raja

NEW DELHI: New communications and IT minister A Raja today resolved to continue the policies of his predecessor Dayanidhi Maran while giving top priority to rural telephony.

"My top priority would be rural telephony...To provide facility to the lowest ebb of the people," Raja said while assuming office here.

Maran, who resigned on Sunday, was in the process of initiating a host of measures like doing away with roaming charges and introduction of 3G policy.
