Mobile Number Portability: TRAI proposed easier process for MNP

By

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has proposed an easy method to carry on with Mobile number portability (MNP). Mobile number portability is considered to an important and excellent feature provided to the customer to retain their mobile number when changing from current network to another network carrier.

The freedom of changing the carrier option is already available, but according to the TRAI report, 40 percent of MNP request fails because of manual data submission. TRAI has made it clear that they want the MNP process to be more comfortable to the customer so that they will have an autonomous decision of shifting network.

Proposed process of porting network:

At present MNP process is like your current network is N1 and wants to change it to Network N2. N1 sends a Unique Porting Code (UPC) to your mobile. You need to send the UPC as a request to N2. Then N2 accepts the request and porting will be successful. But as the request sending process is manual, due to typing mistakes and other mismatches porting fails.

To make this process easier TRAI proposed that Unique Porting Code (UPC) sending will be done automatically. The donor operator will now send the UPC to an MNP Clearing House. At the time of Porting, the receiving operator will have to send a request to the MNP Clearing House for verifying UPC.

TRAI Tightens call drop regulations, charges high penalty up to 10 lakh for Call drops

Now the verification process will be done automatically, and rejection process will drop down. This will result in the user-friendly approach.  All the other relevant and required information will be sent to MNP clearing house directly, and port will be carried out smoothly.

TRAI informed, “The draft amendment also proposes to make provision to transmit the relevant information viz. date of the bill, amount outstanding, the last date of payment, date of the notice and period of notice given to the subscriber by Donor Operator through the MNP Clearing House.”

Users and the general public are requested to send in their feedbacks at advmn@trai.gov.in with a copy to trai.mn@gmail.com on/before August 31, 2017, related to the MNP reformation proposal by TRAI.

TRAI Tightens call drop regulations, charges high penalty up to 10 lakh for Call drops

One of the most irritating issues in today’s connected world are call drops, which don’t let the customers have an uninterrupted conversation through a handset over any network. On Friday, TRAI decided to charge substantial penalties for call drop and also imposes strict guidelines with a penalty up to 10 lakh on companies. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is the central regulator of telecommunication services and tariff in India.

Now, the Companies have to pay the penalty if they fail to meet the standards for three consecutive quarters. Changing the measurement levels from circle level to tower, TRAI increases the penalty from 1 lakh to maximum 5 lakh on the violation. TRAI issues regulations on various subjects like internet connections, Call drop, tariffs, Direct to home (DTH) services and mobile number portability. Under the previous Quality of Service rule, the penalty on drop out was 50,000.

TRAI to Check Predatory Pricing and Unveil a New Policy 

The secretary of TRAI, S K Gupta said that the regulator has measured Call Drop Rate (CDR) in more granular from circle level to mobile towers. The previous regulation allows call drops up to 2% on an average in a circle.

TRAI imposes three new rules for calculating call drops:

  • The call drop should not exceed 2% for 90% of telecom towers for an operator for 90 days in a circle.
  • In the worst case at busy hours, 9o% of the towers in a circle should not have a call drop rate of more than 3% for 97% of the time.
  • The regulators should keep a record of Radio Link Timeout (RLT) of more than 48 hours for more than three days. Telecom operators use RLT for managing calls and masking call drop.

The telecom operators said in a statement that, TRAI should not blame the operators itself as they are many other factors involved. The remaining factors include many users using the network at a time, subscribers being indoor or outdoor and issues with handset could also be the reason for call drops.

To stop restrictive practices adopted by building owners who gave preference to a particular telecom network, TRAI recommended exclusive contracts. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, prohibit access to other services treated as a violation regarding licence norms.

“Indulgence into exclusive contract preventing access to other Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) may treat the breach of the licence agreement,” TRAI said in its latest recommendation on ‘In-Building Access by Telecom Service Providers’.

TRAI also suggested the TSPs and other infrastructure providers to be mandated to share in-building infrastructure with other Telecom Service Providers. The officials said that the restrictive practices adopted by the building owners for giving TSPs had necessitated policy intervention.

“Such practices not only limit competition, but it also leaves no choice to consumers without made avail services from the TSP with whom the contract made,” TRAI said justifying the need for bringing out particular recommendations in this regard.

It also added, “The essential requirement for telecom installations and the associated cabling should form part of National Building Code of India (NBC), amended by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).”

The completion certificate to a building should granted only after ensuring the CTI as per the prescribed standards. To install telecom infrastructure or to lay cables, TSPs and infrastructure providers have to require permission from the owner of the building. And then they have to pay mentioned amount for the access of premises.

TRAI announced the need was felt for policy invasion and to obtain sufficient access to reasonable terms and conditions.
