New Delhi: Cellular operators on January 20 gave a commitment to Communications
Minister Pramod Mahajan that they will immediately start routing all calls including
limited mobility services.
"I am pleased to announce that the cellular industry has agreed for termination of
calls of basic players, even WLL (Wireless in Local Loop), services with immediate
effect," Mahajan told reporters.
Asked what had prompted cellular operators to give such a commitment, Mahajan said
that the operators had raised issues relating to level-playing field, which he has
promised to look into.
"They had raised issues relating to level-playing field such as access charge and
entry fee. As far as the issue of access charge is concerned I have requested
telecom regulator TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) to come out with a
just and fair interconnect regime," he said expressing hope that it would come
through in the next couple of days.
