Ripples Advisory TRAI floats paper to frame rules for mobile data speed

Taking cognizance of poor data speed on mobile phones despite high tariff, telecom regulator TRAI floated a consultation paper to frame rules to ensure transparency in the claims made by service providers surrounding wireless broadband speed, reported PTI.

"Through the present consultation paper, the authority intends to seek the inputs of stakeholders on ensuring transparency and customer awareness regarding data speeds under wireless broadband plans," The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) said in a statement.

At present, service providers are selling SIM cards in the name of 2G, 3G and 4G, however, telecom operators do not guarantee any fixed speed instead use terms like "up to" which is generally misleading for consumers.
