In June, Tamil Nadu added 3 lakh cellphone connections: Trai

CHENNAI: After losing 5.7 lakh mobile phone subscriptions in May, when new Covid-19 cases in the state were at the peak during the second wave , Tamil Nadu added about three lakh new wireless connections in June. Telecom experts attribute the spike to the reverse migration post second wave.

Data released by Trai states that most telecom operators recorded new mobile phone subscribers in June under the wireless category. This pushed the total number of mobile phone subscriptions to 8.25 crore across Tamil Nadu, which includes the Chennai circle.
