New Delhi, June 24: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India on Tuesday said it will not intervene in the ongoing telecom tariff war across different services saying this increases competition in the sector.
"Trai will not intervene in the tariff war... this intensifies competition... and intense competition will make services affordable," Trai Chairman Pradeep Baijal said at an open house discussion on issues related to Interconnection User Charge (IUC).
Baijal was responding to a concern raised by a consumer organisation over the existing numerous tariff plans being offered by the service providers, creating confusion among consumers.

He, however, declined to entertain individual complaints from the consumers and said "as per the Trai Act we will look into those issues which are general in nature."
He said Trai also discussed the issue of reviewing IUC and said by the end of July the authority would give its final recommendations.
