Another discussion paper on International Long Distance
(ILD) and Net Long Distance (NLD), which will be released by Trai
in a month's time, will look into the national and international communication.
Similarly Trai will also be coming out with a list of recommendations
for cable TV networks so that networks can be turned into an engine
of growth for broadband, Baijal said.
It may be recalled that consultation paper on cable has already
been released by Trai.
While addressing an interactive session with Trai, Baijal said
that the Authority's main focus is to increase penetration and growth
rather than focusing on quality of service (QoS).
To avoid duplication of the infrastructure for communication services
across the nation, Baijal suggested that a master plan for the industry
should be
prepared that would set the pace and direction for the industry.
However, Baijal himself was not very clear that who should prepare
this plan. According to him this plan should address issues like
interconnectivity, roaming, avoiding some duplication infrastructure
and optimum use of
existing infrastructure.
