Telecom Regulatory Authority of India said on Friday that cable landing station facilities, which are owned by few operators, should be opened up for other international long distance operators, a move which will boost competition in the bandwidth connectivity segment.
The proposed regulation would enable timely provision of international bandwidth connectivity
at cable landing stations in a fair, equitable, transparent and equitable manner to ILD operators and Internet service providers, the regulator said in a statement.
The access to cable landing stations by other licensees is necessary for creating a conducive environment and boosting competition in the international bandwidth connectivity/leased circuits segment, Trai said.
