NEW DELHI: Regulator Trai<\/a>'s decision to cut call connection charge rate by more than half, if executed, will hit earnings of old mobile operators to the tune of Rs 5,000 crore in the current fiscal, industry<\/a> body COAI<\/a> today said.<\/p>\n Rajan<\/a> S Mathews, Director General, Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), in an interview to demanded that Trai should explain the calculation model it had used to arrive at the figure of 6 paise for the interconnection usage charge, which will be effective October 1.<\/p>\n The detailed methodology on which Trai's calculations are based is part of the explanatory memorandum to the regulations all of which have been placed in the public domain now, Trai Chairman R S Sharma<\/a> today told .<\/p>\n Mathews contended that the assumption of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (Trai) that all operators should move towards VoLTE technology is not practical as it will hit services for 2G users who account for 70 per cent of the total subscriber base in the country.<\/p>\n \"In the last financial year, industry revenue from IUC<\/a> at 14 paise was around Rs 10,000 crore. At 6 paise, we expect it to decline to Rs 5,000 crore,\" Mathews added.<\/p>\n \n\tVoLTE (Voice over Long-Term Evolution) is high-end and latest version of calls that are made on Internet-based networks.<\/p>\n \n\tTrai on Tuesday announced slashing of the mobile call connection charge to 6 paise a minute from 14 paise and said no rate will apply from January 1, 2020.<\/p>\n \n\tEstablished telecom operators have argued that every call on the network has a cost, and expenses of an incoming call on their network should be borne by the operator from whose network, the call has originated.<\/p>\n \n\tTrai has asked \"why telecom operators are not migrating to newer technologies such as VoLTE\" when clear demonstrable large differences exist in the cost of providing same services.<\/p>\n \n\t\"Technology migration sounds good, but we have to look at practical dimensions of what happens in terms of incumbents. They don't have the same profile as Jio does. Jio can start with all 4G calls, but incumbents are forced to bear the cost of carrying their legacy,\" Mathews pointed out.<\/p>\n \n\tHe said that in 2010 when spectrum was auctioned, the government had defined the service for which it has to be used and based on those requirements, Jio was bound to build a data network. But operators who purchased 3G at high price had to use other technologies.<\/p>\n At present, Reliance Jio<\/a> offers entire phone call service using the VoLTE technology. Airtel<\/a> has just started VoLTE-based calls and plans to expand it across India by the end of the current fiscal.<\/p>\n \n\tAll operators, Mathews said, want to move to 4G network, but they cannot force customers using 2G services to move to 4G as most of them cannot afford 4G handsets.<\/p>\n \n\t\"What am I going to do with 2G subscribers that I have had till 2014. They don't have a smartphone. They only have feature phone. If VoLTE calls come for delivery on 2G network, how am I going to deliver that call? VoLTE to 2G is not possible unless you do what Trai did for broadcasting,\" Mathews reasoned.<\/p>\n \n\tTrai had mandated installation of digital set-top-boxes for watching cable television.<\/p>\n \n\tHe said JioPhone is also not affordable for many because of the deposit being charged to them. People can get JioPhone by paying Rs 1,500 as deposit, which will be refunded to them after 36 months.<\/p>\n \n\t\"No body (2G customers) is willing to pay big amount upfront. Around 43 per cent of all top-ups are of Rs 10. Nobody is even willing to pay Rs 150 upfront,\" Mathews said.<\/p>\nHe is of the view that if telecom operators start selling bundled handsets, they will have to pay licence fees and spectrum usage charge also on the price of phone.

调节器火车决定调用连接充电率减少一半以上,如果执行,旧手机运营商的收益将达到5000卢比的曲调在当前财政、行业机构COAI今天说。 新德里:监管机构火车的决定调用连接充电率减少一半以上,如果执行,旧手机运营商的收益将达到5000卢比的曲调在当前财政,行业身体COAI今天说。 拉詹马修斯,总干事,印度手机运营商协会(COAI)在一次采访中,要求火车应该解释的计算模型用于到达图6 paise互连的使用,将有效的10月1日。 火车的计算是基于详细的方法是说明书的规定所有这些现在被放置在公共领域,火车主席R S沙玛今天告诉。 马修斯声称的假设印度电信管理部门(火车),所有运营商应该朝着回技术是不切实际的,因为它将达到2 g服务用户占总用户数量的70%。 “在过去的财政年度,行业收入IUC在14 paise大约10000卢比。paise 6点,我们预计下降到5000卢比,”马修斯说。 回(声音长期演进)是高端和最新版本的要求,基于互联网的网络。 火车周二宣布削减移动电话连接充电6 paise一分钟14 paise说不率将从1月1日,2020年。 建立电信运营商认为,网络上的每个调用成本,和来电的费用应当承担网络运营商的网络电话的起源。 火车已经要求“为什么电信运营商不迁移到新技术如回”当清晰可见的巨大差异存在的成本提供相同的服务。 “技术移民听起来不错,但我们要看实际的尺寸的现任者会发生什么。他们没有相同的概要文件Jio一样。Jio可以开始与所有4 g电话,但在任者被迫承担的成本携带他们的遗产,”马修斯指出。 他说,2010年当频谱拍卖,政府服务的定义和基于这些需求,使用Jio注定要构建一个数据网络。但运营商购买3 g在高价格必须使用其他的技术。 目前,依赖Jio使用回技术提供整个电话服务。附近的旅馆刚刚开始VoLTE-based电话和年底计划扩大在印度当前的财政。 所有操作符,马修斯说,想搬到4 g网络,但是他们不能强迫顾客使用2 g服务搬到4 g,他们中的大多数不能4 g手机。 “我与2 g用户,我直到2014年。他们没有一个智能手机。他们只有功能手机。如果回电话来交付2 g网络,我要怎么交电话吗?回2 g是不可能的,除非你做了什么火车广播,”马修斯的理由。 火车有强制安装数字机顶盒的收看有线电视。 他说JioPhone也不是便宜很多,因为存款被指控。人们可以通过支付JioPhone Rs 1500存款,将36个月后退还给他们。 “没有身体(2 g客户)愿意支付大金额的前期。大约43%的所有充值10卢比。甚至没有人愿意支付150卢比的前期,”马修斯说。
