Telcos welcome new Trai guidelines to check pesky calls Mobile service providers today welcomed the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (Trai) new guidelines for cracking down on unsolicited telemarketing calls and SMSes. But indicated that keeping to the January 1, 2011, deadline for compliance would be a challenge. "The Trai guidelines are in appropriate direction, giving customers a tool in hand to take or not to take a call. But we have to look at the implementation part of the regulations under the given timeframe," Rajan S Mathews, the director general of Cellular Operators's Association of India, said. Trai has said a penalty of up to Rs 2.50 lakh will be imposed for violation of the telemarketing guidelines, which could be followed by blocking repeat offenders' connections. "Idea seems to be good, but now we have to see the implementation of the regulation under the provided timeframe. This is good with the consumer point of view," said Dilip Sahay, an Advisor at Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India. The new guidelines will come into effect from January 1, 2011. A different set of numbers starting with '70' will be issued to telemarketers so that any unregistered subscribers can identify commercial calls and decide whether to accept or reject them. Unlike the previous guidelines, which only provided for a 'Do Not Call' Registry, the regulations issued today give customers different options to avoid unsolicited calls. The subscriber can now choose to be listed under the "fully blocked" category - which is akin to the 'Do Not Call' Registry - or the "partially blocked" category, in which case he will only receive SMSs in the categories chosen by him. Trai has identified seven categories for telemarketing calls, including banking and financial products, real estate, education, health, consumer goods and automobiles, communication and entertainment, tourism and leisure.

MTS Launches Mobile Telephony Services In Gujarat Sistema Shyam TeleServices Limited (SSTL) today announced the launch of its mobile telephony services under the MTS brand in Gujarat. The launch extends the company’s national footprint to 13 telecom circles including the entire Western region of India. With the launch, MTS customers in Gujarat will now have access to the nationally successful ½ paisa per second prepaid tariff plan enabling them to connect anywhere within the state. In addition MTS mobile users will also have the benefit of ‘Timeage’. This innovative concept enables MTS customers to derive best mileage for the money invested in mobile services and handset bundled offers. The concept of ‘Timeage’ is unique and unmatched by any other competing options currently available in the market. Timeage is all about providing added mileage to a customer’s mobile phone. Simply put it is the actual extended value derived from an MTS mobile, expressed as a function of time. For e.g., a recharge of Rs. 100 done by an MTS mobile user would last for 67 days as compared to just 32 days being offered by any other operator (under standard talking conditions – 4.1 minutes a day). Additionally MTS customers can also avail the added advantage of 25 % extra talk time with the First Recharge (FRC) of Rs. 55 on all future recharge vouchers valid for a year.

^^^ If you are getting fluctuating signals then too it can't be said that they are doing there best to solve the issue. Signals should be stable and not fluctuating for having quality calls. Infact fluctuating signals are more irritating sometimes.

Its good to see that all of your VMC packs are now working properly. But now make it sure to utilise full 1GB which is offered in the pack for a month. Don't even leave 10 KB of your free usage UNUTILISED. Poora paisa vasool karo doston. Vodafone charged us too much (unethically) for VMC earlier. Now its your turn. Nimboo ki tarah nichodh lo.

^^^ My dear friend, the thread is posted under "GSM HANDSET DISCUSSION SUB-FORUM". So, its a GSM handset and not CDMA.

Tata Tele renews attack on GSM providers Responding to media reports, Anil Sardana, the managing director of Tata Teleservices, reasserted for his company that incumbent GSM telecom operators were indeed hoarding spectrum. “Such operators should now clearly refrain from making such loose statements, and be watchful about resorting to such vested arguments. It is because of such misinformation that Tata Teleservices has suffered all this while, merely seeking a level playing field,” said Sardana in a media statement. Sardana’s statement comes after a strong denial of the charge by Vodafone-Essar managing director Marten Peters. He said the charge from some competing operators that his company and other GSM operators were hoarding spectrum was ridiculous. The debate started after Ratan Tata, chairman of the Tata Group, in a TV channel interview, said GSM incumbents were doing so. Sardana pointed to support from reports by both the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) and the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG). Both, he said, have noted that some incumbents are holding excess spectrum, which should be paid for, beyond the 6.2 MHz sanctioned by the license conditions. “Such operators need to refer to and carefully read the CAG and Trai documents,” Sardana said. Yesterday, Vodafone had said Ratan Tata’s charge of spectrum hoarding by important companies and of CDMA providers being discriminated against were ‘ridiculous’. And, that the spectrum utilisation of dual technology providers was much lower than that of GSM ones. Sardana said his company applied for a dual technology license only after the policy was announced by the government and incumbent operators, too, had the option to apply likewise. He said they’d been waiting for their legitimate right to get spectrum at Delhi and another 39 key locations for nearly three years. “These are just delaying tactics by the incumbents, who continue to add customers and keep profiting from the excess spectrum that they have been hoarding for years now,” he added. After the sanctioned spectrum given to companies with the licence, government allots extra spectrum to operators based on the number of subscribers, at no extra cost. Tata had earlier spoken against this procedure, and said incumbents should pay for the extra spectrum. “Hopefully, the Government will now provide start-up spectrum to Tata Teleservices in Delhi and the other districts, as it has to other operators, so that long-awaited services can be started in Delhi — and thereafter deal with the subject and not continue to deprive us any more, especially as spectrum has been vacated and is now available in Delhi,” said Sardana.

I'm a victim of trial by media: Raja to SC NEW DELHI: Former telecom minister A. Raja told the Supreme Court Wednesday that he was a victim of trial by media and the "mind-boggling" Rs.1.76 lakh crore loss to the public exchequer in the 2G spectrum allocation as mentioned in the CAG report was "presumptive and subjective" and would not stand judicial scrutiny. "I stand condemned, charge-sheeted, tried and convicted by the media. My stock is so low that anything I say does not redeem my position," said T.R. Andhyarujina appearing for Raja before an apex court bench of Justice G.S. Singhvi and Justice Ashok Kumar Ganguly. Raja is one of the respondents in the petition by the Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL) seeking monitoring of the CBI investigation into the 2G spectrum scam by the apex court. Andhyarujina told the court that his client was not inclined take up any contentious issues with the court and would go by any of its directions. The senior counsel said there was no indictment and culpability of Raja in the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report. However, "there is a strong indictment of the Department of Telecommunication, and being its head I am accountable", Andhyarujina told the court. The senior counsel said the CAG report was a "presumptive valuation of mind-boggling loss" which was totally speculative and required a very serious consideration of the court. The court was told that the 2001 price which was charged for the allocation of the 2G spectrum in 2008 was consistent with the recommendations of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), which it had stated in 2003 and reiterated in 2005, 2007 and even in 2010. Andhyarujina said the CAG followed a principle of accounting which is never used for calculating value. The senior counsel said that parameters followed by the CAG were presumptive and speculative. "What Raja did in 2008 was similarly done by the then telecom minister Arun Shourie and Dayanidhi Maran," the senior counsel told the court. He told the court that 52 licences were issued between 2001 to 2007 on the same basis but they were not questioned. Andhyarujina said he will not use strong words for the august CAG but maintained that its findings of mind-boggling losses would not stand the test of judicial scrutiny. Earlier, Andhyarujina told the court that his client was not speaking to the media because the entire matter is sub-judice and is being heard by the apex court. However, Raja's silence should not be construed as some kind of admission of his guilt, the senior counsel told the court. He told the court that Raja resigned "because under political compulsion you have to take a stand for the party's considerations". Courtesy : The Economic Times
