与此同时，交通部上月澄清，在计算时，有线业务的收入将被排除在AGR之外频谱使用费(SUC)按加权平均法支付。vno也要求类似的排除。
由于多个瓶颈，VNO业务在印度没有起飞，这使得公司和企业家难以在该行业运营。
交通部会见移动运营商讨论服务质量
“会议将由电信部长K Rajaraman监督，”一名官员告诉印度经济时报。如果电信部官员或电信运营商高管因年终假期而无法上班，会议也可能会转移到1月的第一周。
梅塔说，许多当地企业家不得不关闭他们的企业，其他人则濒临关闭他们的商店，因为该部门对VNO公司B类和C类公司征收的许可证费和AGR规定了更高的AGR负担。

VNO机构认为现有的策略仍然完全依赖于父服务提供者。
虚拟运营商被视为电信服务提供商的延伸，根据许可条件，不允许部署任何与其他网络互连的设备。
虽然现有的私营企业——Jio、Airtel和Vi——仍然不愿意将他们的网络容量分享给虚拟公司，但据该集团称，缺乏来自国营的Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)提供服务的支持，这是一个扫兴的因素。
2015年，印度电信监管局(Trai)建议使用UL-VNO许可证来拆分服务交付层，并于2016年5月，电信部门发布了虚拟运营商指南。

<\/figure>NEW DELHI: The Virtual Network Operators Association of India (VNOAI<\/a>) said that the virtual telecom firms<\/a> were overlooked during the recent policy-level amendments such as rationalisation of license fee and adjusted gross revenue (AGR) levy that have come to adversities of small entrepreneurs in the nascent sector.In a letter to the Prime Minister Office (PMO<\/a>) dated January 2, 2023, RK Mehta, secretary general of VNOI said, \"Difficulties are being faced by the UL-VNO licensees in the provisioning the services in compliance to the license conditions, is making business unviable.\"
Further, Mehta said that the situation has arisen despite amendments made by the telecom department (DoT<\/a>) to facilitate the industry<\/a> during the 2016 to 2022 period, overlooking the evolving industry.
<\/div><\/div>Mobile virtual network operator or VNO is a reseller or distributor who purchases bulk voice and data from telecom carriers and resells in rural and semi-urban areas under its own local brand, allowing operators to further utilise their network capacities.
The Delhi-based lobby group represents virtual network operators such as Oxigen Services, AdPay Mobile Payment India, Spiderlink Networks and Lyca Telecom.
The body sought PMO intervention to review and abolish the prevailing policies causing the financial burden on the relatively smaller firms and local entrepreneurs.
\"In spite of many reforms taken by the DoT in 2021 for the decrease of license fee and bank guarantee, it\u2019s not sufficient to make the business model of virtual network operators viable and provide the services in the rural and semi-rural areas of the country,\" he said in the letter.
Meanwhile, the DoT, last month clarified that the revenue from wireline business would be excluded from AGR while computing spectrum usage charge<\/a> (SUC) payable with the weighted average method. The VNOs are demanding a similar exclusion.
The VNO business is not taking off in India due to multiple bottlenecks making it difficult for companies and entrepreneurs to operate in the sector.
