Setting floor price for telecom tariffs to be good for sector: DUG to Trai

A public policy think tank for digital users in India has said setting a floor price for telecom tariffs is a good option to improve the health of the sector so that the operators provide quality service to consumers and invest in network expansion.

The Digital Users Group (DUG) said the current form of market forces are not conducive to telecom operators to recover costs from tariffs, and customers may get benefits in the short term but ultimately quality of service (QoS) and connectivity can only be ensured if the sector is sustainable.
