The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has proposed to simplify the country's telecom landscape. It has suggested one tariff for each licence holder across the country, all-India mobile number portability and doing away with roaming charges.
At present, the country is divided into 22 circles. Each circle has its own tariff structure. Number portability, too, is allowed only within a circle. And, subscribers have to pay a roaming fee for using telecom services outside their home circles.
The proposal to do away with roaming charges was also floated last year. Telecom companies, already reeling under low tariffs due to tough competition, might oppose the proposal as it would lower their roaming revenues.
The proposals have been mooted by the various committees set up by DoT to finalise the new telecom policy.
