Trai seeks view on enabling virtual network operators tie-up with multiple telcos

New Delhi: Telecom regulator Trai on Friday invited views on enabling virtual network operators to tie up with more than one telecom operators for providing wireless and wireline services. At present, a virtual network operator (VNO) is allowed to partner with only one telecom operator for providing services which need numbering and unique identity of the customers like mobile connection etc.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has issued a consultation paper on “Connectivity to Access Service VNOs From More Than one NSO (network service operator)” following reference made by the Department of Telecom based on representation made by VNOs.
