AGR Ruling: RailTel Corporation moves Supreme Court

Mumbai: RailTel Corporation has moved the Supreme Court, seeking a modification or a clarification that its October 24 order on adjusted gross revenue pertains only to access service provider licence holders such as telcos, and not to all licence holders for internet service and national long distance telephone service. “It is submitted that the applicant is an internet service provider and national long-distance service provider where the definition of adjusted gross revenue (AGR) is different and does not include the words ‘any other miscellaneous revenue’ which is otherwise defined in clause 19 of the license agreement of access service,” RailTel said in its petition.
