Trai seeks views on need to review norms for public, captive mobile radio trunking services

The telecom regulator has called for views on the need for a review of the terms and conditions of the license norms for public and captive mobile radio trunking services (PMRTS and CMRTS), which are used to operate walkie-talkies.

In the discussion paper titled ‘Review of Terms and Conditions of PMRTS and CMRTS Licenses’, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) asked whether there is a need to review the terms and conditions of PMRTS License and PMRTS Authorization under Unified License and if PMRTS providers should be permitted internet connectivity on static internet protocol (IP) addresses.
