Trai: How is India's telecom regulator faring in its commitment towards better quality of service?
Access to a high speed and dependable internet connection is a persistent demand from Indian citizens. This was one of the major roadblocks identified by Telecom service providers, and Trai’s consultation paper to regulate in building access to telecom service providers is a good step towards solving this problem. Stakeholders, including internet service providers, telecom service providers, associations of service providers, consumer watchdogs and cable providers respond to the consultation papers with suggestions. For example, a consultation paper on the quality of service noting call drops being an issue, gets a response from an association of telecom service providers over the difficulty of installing infrastructure in urban areas. The consultation papers on in building access, public Wi-Fi networks, Telecom consumer protection regulations, cloud computing, digital terrestrial transmission, internet telephony, infrastructure sharing in broadcast TV, Net Neutrality and Free Data have all extended the amount of time the issue remains open for consultation, and is actively seeking responses from stakeholders.
