Telecom regulator Trai has said that it has told the Department of Telecom (DoT) that it does not have any ground to seek compliance from operators, including Reliance Jio, during testing of networks under current rules. Commenting on the issue, a Trai Official told the media, "Trai has replied to DoT's letter which asked (it) to seek compliance from telecom operators, mainly RJIL, on duration, subscriber numbers etc during testing of their network. It has said there is no clarity in licence on the basis of which such compliance can be sought." "Trai has told DoT that to address issues around testing of telecom networks, it should seek a reference formally from the regulator on the subject. The regulator will then carry out consultation process to firm up its recommendations," the official said. As per reports, DoT had asked Trai to seek compliance from telecom operators on scale, duration of testing, network inter-connection and matters pertaining to subscriber addition.
