The Telecom Dispute Settlement and Appellate Tribunal has refused to give an interim order against Reliance's proposed roaming facility on WLL phones as the telecom regulator Trai said it was examining Reliance's reply.

"We have received reply from Reliance Infocomm about their roaming facility on WLL phones and we are examining it," Trai counsel Meet Malhotra told TDSAT.

Meanwhile, TDSAT refused to give an interim order and adjourned the hearing for February 24.

Meanwhile the 7-member group constituted by Communication and IT Minister Arun Shourie, comprising members from basic, cellular and PSUs are slated to meet late today to deliberate on various issues concerning WLL and cellular services in the country.

Cellular Operators Association of India had last week approached TDSAT alleging basic telecom operators like Tata Teleservices and Reliance Infocomm were flouting the license conditions with regard to WLL-based limited mobile services like roaming facility by Reliance Infocomm.

While the allegation against Tata Teleservices that they were offering WLL services beyond their licensed area, the company had assured the TDSAT that "their services would be strictly limited to local call area known as short distance charging area."
