TRAI Extends Deadline for Affordable Voice/SMS Mobile Plans
TRAI Extends Deadline for Comments on Lower-Priced Mobile Plans Without Data
Key Highlights
TRAI has extended the deadline to May 5 for public comments on a proposal mandating affordable mobile plans with only calling and SMS services.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has extended the deadline for stakeholders to submit their comments on a proposed new regulation. The regulation aims to ensure that telecom operators provide mobile plans that include only calling and SMS services, offered at a more affordable price point.
This initiative by TRAI is a response to concerns that current plans offering voice and SMS services exclusively are priced too high, making them less accessible to consumers. The extended deadline, now set for May 5, provides additional time for interested parties to share their views and feedback on the draft regulation.
