Telecom row ends, cell cos agree to interconnect
Monday, January 20 2003 18:48 Hrs (IST)

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.
