To Infinity and Beyond!
Airtel and TATA charged Rs. 3.4 Crore for 10 Gbps International bandwidth till now. In 2013, TRAI had ordered a 90 per cent cut in the cable landing station charges. This was opposed by Bharti and Tata Communications ( Of course they did ) on the grounds that the regulator did not include all aspects of the costs before arriving at the new pricing. However, the Madras High Court has dismissed the two operators’ plea and has given the green signal to Trai to implement the nearly four-year-old order.
Now, charges for a 10 Gbps connection, for example, will be just ₹6.25 lakh compared to ₹3.4 crore. The reduced charge would mean lower costs for Internet service providers and long-distance telephony players. This, in turn, could result in lower broadband tariffs.
