TT Correspondent | 29 Oct 2012

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has released a draft amendment to the Quality of Service of Broadband Service Regulations, 2006 (11 of 2006) on financial disincentives, and sought comments of stakeholders.

The Regulations seek to prescribe a financial disincentive on Broadband Service providers for non-compliance with the benchmark of the quality of service parameters at a rate not exceeding Rs 50,000 per parameter for the first non-compliance and Rs 1,00,000 per parameter for subsequent noncompliance of the benchmarks.

The regulations further provide for a deterrent against false or delayed reporting of the Quality of Service benchmarks.
