Telcos to blame for call drops: TRAI chief
The HinduDismissing arguments over the lack of mobile towers and spectrum leading to a spate of call drops in the past few months, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Chairman R.S. Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Sharma said telecom operators have “commitments towards customers and they cannot short-change them… There are no compelling reasons. It is an issue of transparency.” While maintaining that lack of towers and spectrum deficiency cannot be used as an “alibi” for poor quality of services, he said TRAI will come out with a ‘diagnostic paper’ next week enlisting its finding on the issue and pinning down the exact reasons for call drops, initially for Delhi and Mumbai circles. On arguments over spectrum deficiency, Mr. Sharma said, “The problem has increased in the past 5-6 months. Therefore, as a regulator we need to ensure that we are able to protect consumer interest,” Mr. Sharma said.
