“This consultation paper intends to explore the requirement of introducing product specific (Voice/SMS/Data and combinations thereof) tariff offerings in addition to present tariff offerings and make required changes in the current tariff regulatory framework,” the paper said.
TRAI said there is a perception among consumers that the bundled offerings of telecom services act as a constraint on the choice of subscription of telecom tariff offered by the subscribers.
The regulator said various stakeholders have expressed a strong preference for extending the validity period of Special Tariff Vouchers and Combo Vouchers beyond the current 90-day limit.
The regulator has invited comments on the consultation paper by Aug. 16 and counter comments by Aug. 23.
