TRAI lowers roaming charges for calls, SMSes
TRAI lowers roaming charges for calls, SMSes
NEW DELHI: Telecom regulator TRAI today announced reduction in the national mobile phone roaming charges, but said there will be no free national roaming as of now.
The sectoral regulator has also come out with conditional free national roaming plans, a move that will bring down cellphone roaming charges.
The changes will come into effect from next month. "TRAI has reduced ceilings for national roaming calls and SMS and instituted a new regime for providing flexibility to telecom service providers to customise tariffs for national roamers through STVs (Special Tariff Vouchers) and Combo Vouchers," the regulator said in a statement.
It has also mandated two types of free national roaming plans to be provided by all telecom service providers. These changes will come into effect from July 1, 2013, it added.
"With increased subscribers and usage, the costs associated with national roaming have declined, but not vanished. There are still real costs incurred in providing the national roaming facility.
"Mandating a fully free roaming regime is simply not practicable at this juncture. Compelling a transition to a fully free national roaming regime would result in telecom service providers not being able to recover their costs from roamers," the regulator said.
In turn, telecom service providers would pass these costs on to all consumers (predominantly non-roamers) through higher tariffs, it added.
The ceiling tariffs prescribed by TRAI in 2007 were Rs 1.40 per minute for outgoing local calls and Rs 2.40 per minute for outgoing STD calls while on national roaming. These ceilings have been reduced to Re 1 per minute and Re 1.50 per minute, respectively, it said.
Similarly, the ceiling tariffs for incoming calls while on national roaming have been reduced from Rs 1.75 per minute to 75 paise per minute, it added.
Tariffs for outgoing SMS while on national roaming, which were earlier under forbearance, have now been capped: outgoing SMS (local) at Re 1 per SMS and outgoing SMS (STD) at Rs 1.50 per SMS. Incoming SMS will remain free of charge, TRAI said.
"TRAI feels that the best way forward is to establish a tariff regime in which roamers self-select themselves out and so minimise the impact on the rest of the subscriber community," it said.
In working towards free roaming, TRAI has also borne in mind the need to keep costs to roamers at a minimum, it added.
TRAI has decided that STVs and Combo Vouchers which were hitherto allowed only for home tariffs can be permitted for roaming tariffs. This will give the service providers the greatest possible flexibility in customising tariffs for their roaming subscribers.
Tariffs for outgoing SMS while on national roaming, which were earlier under forbearance, have now been capped: outgoing SMS (local) at Re 1 per SMS and outgoing SMS (STD) at Rs 1.50 per SMS. Incoming SMS will remain free of charge, TRAI said.
"TRAI feels that the best way forward is to establish a tariff regime in which roamers self-select themselves out and so minimise the impact on the rest of the subscriber community," it said.
In working towards free roaming, TRAI has also borne in mind the need to keep costs to roamers at a minimum, it added.
TRAI has decided that STVs and Combo Vouchers which were hitherto allowed only for home tariffs can be permitted for roaming tariffs. This will give the service providers the greatest possible flexibility in customising tariffs for their roaming subscribers.
TRAI has also mandated the service providers to offer special plans for roaming subscribers in which subscribers can avail of partially free roaming, or fully free roaming in lieu of payment of fixed charges, it said.
All subscribers will benefit from the reduced ceilings: competitive pricing below the new ceiling levels is expected. The provision for STVs and Combo Vouchers as well as special tariff plans for roaming tariff will allow the service providers to cater to the specific roaming needs of different customer segments, it added.
The new regime provides reduced ceilings and free roaming facilities for roamers without impacting customers who do not use the roaming facility, TRAI said.
The present exercise to review national roaming tariffs was initiated by TRAI earlier this year in the context of decline in costs and the declared intent in the New Telecom Policy-2012 to move towards One Nation-Free Roaming throughout the country.
National Telecom Policy, 2012 aims to abolish roaming charges and allow mobile phone subscribers to use the same number across the country without having to pay extra charges for services once they are outside their telecom circle.

The world of the Telegram
When the doorbell rang in the middle of the night, the 'who could it be at this hour' question ran through everyone's mind. If the voice on the other side of the door said 'telegram' then the curiosity intensified into an electric form of anxiety that raced through the house bringing everyone within earshot to the door. One signed for the sealed envelope, ripped it open and read out the contents, all hearts clogging up one mouth. Sometimes the news was exactly of the kind that made telegrams so feared while on other occasions, telegram said something to the effect of 'Arriving 17th instant Rajdhani with family. Book return 6th May." Of course, one had the more harmless greetings telegrams (number 5 Many Happy Returns of the Day) but those were unlikely to be delivered in the dead of night. By virtue of their speed and stealth, telegrams were messengers of fate, letter bombs that interrupted the placid predictability of life with some sudden and significant new development.

POLICY AND PROGRAMME RESOLUTION ADOPTED IN THE 9TH FEDERAL COUNCIL HELD AT HYDERABAD FROM 09.06.2013 TO 12.06.2013
1. The World capitalist economy is in the grip of a severe financial crisis. The inherent inconsistencies and contradictions of the capitalism have ultimately resulted in the present crisis. The crisis that erupted and exploded in the USA has spread over to almost all the countries, especially the capitalist countries. The imperialist globalization policies have further aggravated and heightened the crisis. The bailout packages and other short and long term measures taken has only helped the trans-national corporations to survive, but the plight of the workers and the common man is becoming more and more miserable. Cuts in employment and social security measures have further aggravated the situation. The adverse effect is now even sensed in the developing countries like India. The ever widening gap between the haves and have-nots, larger scale unemployment, hurling more and more people in the grip of poverty, the high speed privatization of Government Departments and public sector undertakings, the crisis in the agricultural and industrial sector, curtailment of social security and welfare measures, curtailing the subsidy to farmers and people etc. - all these factors contribute in setting more and more burden on the common man and the working class. This 9thFederal Council of National Federation of Postal Employees, expresses full solidarity with the organizations and the people who are putting up heroic resistance to the globalization policies world over. This Federal Council also pledges its support to the people who are fighting for the protection of freedom and integrity of their country, even by laying down their lives.
After the telegraph: To remain viable, the postal department must explore new vistas
First it was the pigeon post and now the telegram. From July 15, India Post's telegram services will be discontinued for the first time in over 160 years - a result of the human genius that has wrought a technological revolution that compressed both time and space in the world of communication. There may come a time when the internet will be ubiquitous and India Post will no longer be essential. While that may yet be a long way off, the department of post could pull the struggling public service from a loss-incurring institution into a healthy enterprise.
India Post has touched the life of every citizen in every remote corner of the country. While it has an impressive network of about three lakh Post Offices, it has scarcely done enough to innovate or function as a commercial agency and compete with rivals in the private sector. The drive to computerise operations has been unsatisfactory. The promise to provide value-added services, like the much-touted anywhere-anytime banking, automated mail processing centres and the mail network optimisation project, has not been fully met, pushing customers into the arms of private companies.
Tapping the full potential of the vast postal network, with post offices numbering almost four times the number of rural bank branches and having a much larger customer base, requires that it reinvents itself as the hub of ongoing financial inclusion and information technology initiatives. It should scale up its operations in delivery of insurance,mutual funds, pension products and direct cash transfers. It must venture into registration of Aadhaar numbers and tie up with private companies to become the digital hub in far-flung rural areas. This will ensure that it re-emerges as a financially viable and vibrant institution that marches with the times.
