 "Trai bats for one-year validity data packs to woo first-time users")
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has “advised” the operators to launch at least one data pack with single payment that has exclusive data benefits and a validity of 365 days.
Trai said data packs with longer validity would be useful for wooing many first-time users as the inconvenience in the form of compulsion to charge at regular intervals would be removed.
This is, however, an advisory and not binding on telecom operators
In August last year, the sectoral regulator had allowed an increase in validity for mobile data packs to 365 days from up to 90 days.
