Revenues of the telecom operators are likely to be hit further as the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has proposed a sharp cut of about 35%t for making calls and up to 80% for sending messages while roaming.
This would also mean a lower bill for the subscribers while travelling around the country. “Through the Amendment Order, the authority intends to reduce the ceiling tariffs for national roaming services,” the TRAI said in a statement.
