Industry body Dipa disappointed over non-implementation of Trai recommendation on infra

New Delhi: Digital infrastructure industry body Dipa, erstwhile Taipa, on Friday expressed disappointment over non-implementation of Trai’s recommendations since 2015 to enhance the scope of infrastructure providers. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has again recommended to Department of Telecom (DoT) on August 31 that its recommendations dated March 13, 2020 to enhance the scope of infrastructure providers should be decided by the department and the matter should be finalised within three months.

“We thank the Authority (Trai) for once again underlining the need for ‘Enhancement of Scope of IP-1’ and this time prescribing timelines also for its implementation i.e within 3 months as the same is pending despite numerous follow-ups with DoT,” Dipa Director General TR Dua said in a statement.
