The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has been mandated by the TRAI Act, 1997 to regulate the tariffs offered by the Telecom Service Provider for its various services. The telecommunications sector in India has witnessed several changes in the past few years in terms of the tariff offerings of various telecom service providers. This has not only resulted in an exponential increase in the use of telecom services but has also resulted in the tariffs of telecom services in India being amongst the lowest in the world.

In the last few months, many concerns have been raised about the health of the Indian telecom sector and the need to fix a floor price for telecom services. TRAI has so far observed a policy of forbearance in respect of telecom tariffs for valid reasons. It gives the service providers the freedom and flexibility to design their tariff offerings as per the demands of the market. It gives free play to the forces of healthy competition and has resulted in an exponential growth in the Indian telecom sector in the past two decades. Most economists also advise against market interventions by the regulator in tariff fixation.

However, ensuring the provision of ever-increasing data consumption and a good Quality of Service requires a lot of investment in maintaining and improving telecom infrastructure. Fast pace of technological changes in the sector require huge capital investments. Telecom sector is the infrastructure provider for many other sectors of the economy. Thus, making sure that the telecom sector remains healthy and its orderly growth are equally important.

Considering this aspect, a consultation paper on “Tariff Issues of Telecom Services” has been issued on 17th December, 2019 to invite comments from all the stakeholders, on various issues relating to tariff in telecom sector.

The consultation paper on “Tariff Issues of Telecom Services” has been uploaded on TRAI’s website (www.trai.gov.in). The written comments on the issues raised in the consultation paper are invited from the stakeholders by 17th January, 2020 and counter-comments by 31st January, 2020.

DTH सेवा जो कि ट्राई के दिशा निर्देश के अनुसार आम उपभोक्ताओं को सेवा प्रदान करती है ट्राई द्वारा आम उपभोक्ताओं के सभी हितों का पूरा ध्यान रखा जाता है फिर भी DTH सेवा प्रदाता ग्राहकों को भृमित कर या अन्य चैनलो से सेवा को सर्वश्रेष्ठ बता कर ज्यादा से ज्यादा चार्ज वसूल किये जा रहे है उपभोक्ता पूरे नियम नही समझ पाता और DTH सेवा के बिना उपयोग के ही चार्ज दे रहा है ट्राई द्वारा DTH के जो भी नियम बनाये जाए पारदर्शी बनाये जाए और आम उपभोक्ता को ठीक से समझ आ सके बात उचित लगे तो ध्यान दे धन्यवाद

ट्राय सिम की बात करे तो हर माह का रिचार्ज अनिवार्यता नही होनी चाहिये जिससे कि छोटे उपभोक्ताओं को कई प्रकार की समस्याओं का सामना करना पड़ता है, उपभोक्ता को कुछ इस प्रकार की स्किम का प्रावधान ऱखना चाहिए जिससे जी, उनको आसानी से सुविधाओं का लाभ ले सकें।

I think you should not apply these useless tariff on television network... The old was gold - en method, It is right that 90% people don't watch more than 5 channels per day but, when it comes to a month most have watched almost 50 - 60 channels, as the requirement or the mood to watch something may change anytime... Conclusion: The Previous provision of charge was okk when all channels were open at a charge... Because now at more than that charge I have very few channels so u should think...

These days Prices of Telecom Network have incersed abdruptly , not only this but amount of internet data we are getting is getting low. In my area the quality of internet services degreded in last few years. My suggestions to this issue can be like- Make the quality of 4G network better first, then think about 5G spectrum selling. Here we are unable to get internet speed of > 1Mb/sec , then how can we think about 5G in large scale..

ट्राई को सिम कंपनी के खिलाफ सख्त नियम बनने चाहिए । आए दिन इनके द्वारा रिचार्ज के प्लान्स के रेट बड़ाए जा रहे है और कॉल्स को unlimted में भी लिमटेड कॉल्स दी जा रही है और 28 दिन के प्लान्स की जगह 30 दिन का प्लान होना चाहिए

1. Don't use terms such as network fee, charges which is basis for mis-interpretation. Use words such as " Total Charges " to define any specific limit. 2. Charges for individual channels which are already beeming Advertisements are too high, especially in case of popular channels. If these are capped around Rs. 5-00 It would go a long way. Any regulation should bring relief to the customers instead of burdening them as is the case now.
