New Delhi: The Department of Telecom has asked the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India to suggest a policy framework for introducing Mobile Virtual Network Operators in the country.
The move follows controversy around the launch of Virgin Mobile through a franchisee agreement with Tata Teleservices. While existing GSM operators have asked DoT to examine the fine print of the agreement, Tatas have denied that it was an MVNO.
The move from DoT is an attempt to put the controversy to rest. Once TRAI suggests the framework for bringing in MVNO, DoT is likely to permit it.
