Airtel will stop premium plan if Trai wants

Tired of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) constantly asking for more and more clarifications, Bharti Airtel has decided that it will stop its ‘priority 4G network’ service for premium customers, if the regulator is adamant and wants that the service is not offered to consumers. However, the company is clear that it has not violated any regulatory tariff guidelines and has provided all the details of the plan as asked for.

In the early part of last week, Bharti Airtel had given a presentation to Trai officials, explaining the technical and other details about its offering for Platinum customers on Rs 499 and above plans. Trai has put the plan on hold till the time it completes its probe. Vodafone Idea, too had shared details about its RedX plan to Trai but the regulator has so far not been satisfied with the replies.
