Trai set to restart open house discussions via video-conferencing

NEW DELHI: Amid extension of lockdown by two more weeks, telecom regulator Trai is all set to resume open house discussions — a standard practice followed by it to take verbal inputs from industry and public on specific issues — albeit through video-conferencing mode this time.

This will be the first Open House Discussion (OHD) to be conducted by the regulator during the lockdown and also first such discussion to happen through video-conferencing mode.

A Trai source said that based on how the process stabilises, the medium could also be leveraged for holding bigger OHDs in future.
