NEW DELHI: The new telecom policy will bring cheer to consumers with the government on Monday proposing to remove roaming charges for subscribers within the country, exponentially increasing broadband availability and speed and allowing for mobile numbers to be ported to any part of the country.
According to the draft of the new telecom policy unveiled by communications minister Kapil Sibal, roaming charges will be done away with and users will be allowed to port their mobile numbers, keeping the same number, even while switching service areas.
The distinction between local and STD calls would vanish, as the policy aims at a ‘one-nation-one-licence’ regime.
Telecom operators would not require separate licences for operations in various parts of the country and a single licence would suffice.
The new policy also proposed to accord the telecom industry the status of an infrastructure sector, which will help ease credit flow to companies for funding roll-out plans or expansion activities.
Mobile service providers would also benefit from the policy as it proposes to allow companies to pool, share and later trade spectrum — a scarce resource. The minister also said the government would look at bringing legislation for governance of spectrum.
