Airtel And Vodafone Might Move To TDSAT Against TRAI Order On Premium Plans

Meanwhile, Airtel is likely to move Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) against the regulators' orders to block its premium plans, where it is offering the fastest services to postpaid users. Similarly, Vodafone is planning to move TDSAT against the same order. Both operators have also written a letter to TRAI to explain their stand on the order.

"TRAI's notice says that the premium plans will disrupt the service quality of the plans that are at lower tariffs. The claim in itself is incorrect which we have explained to the TRAI. If a customer pays for 2GB, he gets that much data. A customer paying for 5GB will get 5GB without interfering with the plan of the customer that is paying a lower tariff," Vodafone-Idea said was quoted by CNBC TV18.
