Govt calls telecom operators on Wednesday to discuss rising call drops

Amid an increase in complaints about call drops, failures and slow internet speed, the government has called a meeting of telecom service providers on Wednesday to discuss the matter, The Economic Times reported.

There has been an increase in complaints about the deteriorating quality of mobile phone services as telecom operators shift to 5G technology, which allows for faster Internet access for watching high-definition videos.

Telecom department officials say they have been discussing the matter internally. On December 23, they held a meeting and decided to call in the operators to discuss the issue with them.
