New Delhi, Dec 06: Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has constituted an internal committee to look into issues arising out of implementation of new Interconnet Usage Charges (IUC) regime, scheduled to come into effect from December 15.
"We have set up a commitee of TRAI officials to look at various IUC regime issues in the wake of Unification of access licences," TRAI chairman, said Pradip Baijal.
Baijal said the committee would also look into the issue of whether the connectivity should take place at local area called SDCA or Long Distance Charging Area (LDCA), but did not comment on a timeframe for taking a decision on these issues.
Last month TRAI extended implementation of IUC regime by a fortnight to December 15 as some service providers had sought clarifications on a number of issues including IUC applicable for Unified Access Services, numbering, routing, point of interconnections and carriage charges.
Meanwhile, in a statement issued here today, TRAI said that subscriber base of mobile services continued to maintain its growth momentum adding 1.90 million mobile subscribers in November taking the total base to 26.60 million.
"During the month 1.38 million cellular and 0.52 million WLL (mobility) subscribers have been added raising the total number of cellular subscribers to 20.73 million and that for WLL subscribers to 5.87 million," it said. Bureau Report
