TRAI chief RS Sharma slams telecom operators, says allegations of bias 'absolutely uncalled for'
Trai Chairman RS Sharma on Tuesday slammed incumbent telecom operators for trying to dent the sectoral regulator’s impartiality and credibility New Delhi: Trai Chairman RS Sharma on Tuesday slammed incumbent telecom operators for trying to dent the sectoral regulator’s impartiality and credibility, saying that their allegations of bias or favour in regulation are absolutely “inappropriate and uncalled for”. His comments came just days after British telecom giant Vodafone termed Telecom Regulatory Authority of India new rule on predatory pricing as “unfair”, and said the company was fighting the competition “with hands tied at the back”. Trai’s predatory pricing rules have sparked off a furore as established players as well as telecom industry body Cellular Operators Association of India criticising the new norms. It said such changes will place older operators at a disadvantage and stop them from responding to “what may be actual predatory tariff plans”.
