Telcos say Trai must look at floor price demand

NEW DELHI: Mobile phone companies have renewed their “legitimate” demand for the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) to set a floor price for services, saying the watchdog’s new chairman PD Vaghela should seriously consider the step to improve the health of the sector.

“The demand (of floor tariff) remains unanswered,” Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) director general SP Kochhar told ET. “It should be looked at with a greater amount of depth due to the prevailing environment.”
