Trai allows Vodafone Idea till Sept 4 to reply to show cause notice on RedX

Kolkata: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has extended the deadline for Vodafone Idea to respond to its show cause notice on the telco’s RedX premium tariff plan to September 4, instead of the earlier August 31 deadline.

Last week, Trai had issued a show cause notice to VIL, asking why it shouldn’t ban the telco’s RedX plan that the sector regulator said appeared to be making false claims about offering faster data speeds and misleading consumers. VIL is learnt to have sought more time to respond.
