The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has reque
The Apex court had earlier given Trai four months time on February 4 for coming up with recommendation on telecom interconnection charges which expired on June 4.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India had in an application filed on Friday requested the apex court 'to grant further 3 months time to Trai to carry out exercise in framing IUC regulation'.
Meanwhile, the Trai, which is facing opposition from the new and old established telecom operators over the issues and methods adopted in consultation process to review IUC, has requested the apex court to give suitable directions over it.
It has requested the apex court to 'grant suitable direction regarding the procedure and method to be followed by it since there are difficulties/issues with regard to implementation of compliance with the directions of TDSAT in the impugned order'.
Interconnection charges are paid by a telecom service provider for using network of other operators for transmitting and completing a call.
Trai's IUC regulation was widely opposed by the state run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited and private operators --
