Telecom regulator TRAI will come out with a consultation paper on Internet-based telephone service in a month. “We are bringing out consultation paper soon on Internet telephony. It is a matter of weeks…a month,” Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Chairman R S Sharma told PTI when asked about the regulator’s views on calls made through mobile applications.
There has been a huge debate in the industry over the framework for calls being made using the internet through various mobile applications.
Recently, telecom industry body COAI has objected to application-based calling service of state-run BSNL saying it violates present norms. The BSNL service allowing customers to make landline calls using a mobile phone and vice-versa was launched by Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in the presence of telecom secretary J S Deepak on March 17. Through the app, BSNL customers traveling abroad will be able to connect their landlines through mobile and make calls without attracting heavy ISD charges.
