TRAI IUC Slashing

Trai had proposed to move from the current IUC regime to the BAK (bill and keep) regime where no operator will charge for mobile call transmission, from January 1, 2020

Reliance Jio, seen as prime beneficiary of the move, may not change its rates, which are already at the bottom

In two years, interconnect user charges, or payment for calls made to other telecom networks, will be reduced to zero

Trai on Tuesday came out with a regulation cutting call-termination charges from mobile to mobile by over half to 6 paise per minute effective from October 1
