Denouncing the 'pressure tactics' adopted by cellular operators and rejecting the charges of favouratism, telecom regulator Trai on Wednesday said it would announce the revised tariffs for basic telecom services in the next two-three days.
Lambasting cellular operators for "trying to put pressure on the regulator and even trying to influence the judicial proceedings", Trai chairman M S Verma said the regulator could only be influenced by the consumer interest and would work for the betterment of the telecom industry.
"We are announcing revised tariffs for basic services in next two-three days. Regulation over Interconnectionrge is part of overall exercise and cannot be determined in an isolated manner," Verma said.
Verma's comments come in the wake of the wrangle between the regulator and cellular operators who had charged that Trai was favouring service providers offering WLL-based limited mobility services.
Verma said new tariffs have been worked out and these would be announced in the next two-three days.
