TRAI reduced the ceiling price for the call carriage
When you make a STD call to a number outside your telecom circle,
your network operator is required to transfer your call to an operator
which has National long distance (NLD) telephony license, who in turn
transfers your call to the recipient network in another circle. The NLD
operator charges a carriage fee to the network on which the call
originates for carrying it over the long distance. This leads to STD
calls being costlier than local calls.

Why is Airtel Tieing up with BSNL?
Bharti Airtel is planning to sign a pan-India intra-circle roaming
pact with BSNL to strengthen its 2G services. So, why two large
operators are planning intra-circle roaming?
First, the intra-circle roaming pact helps Airtel to improve its coverage in semi-urban, rural and remote areas where BSNL is pretty strong due to its sheer presence in smaller cities and villages. This complements very well with Bharti Airtel’s strong coverage in urban India through 163,361 network sites present in 5,121 census and 462,779 non-census towns and villages, covering 86.8 percent of India’s population. So it is a win-win for both the operators.
