TRAI tweaks interconnection regulations

New Delhi, July 6

TRAI has tweaked interconnection regulations and said a service provider can ask another operator for additional ports in case the projected utilisation of the capacity at the interconnect point is likely to exceed 85% over a 60-day period.

Bringing about amendments in Regulations 6, 8 and 9 of the Telecommunication Interconnection Regulations, 2018, it said, “The time-frame for provisioning of ports for initial interconnection and augmentation of ports at Pols (points of interconnect) is increased to 42 working days”. tns
