In a big breakthrough in the ongoing telecom tussle, Bharti Airtel has agreed to provide additional PoIs (Points of Interconnect) to Reliance Jio. Airtel has said that it is committed to complying with the regulations and interconnect agreements. It has however expressed hope that the TRAI will look into the issue of asymmetric traffic urgently. Bharti Airtel’s move will come as a big boost to Reliance Jio, which has been alleging that major telecom players are not providing PoIs to it.
Commenting on Airtel’s decision, Rajan Mathews of COAI (Cellular Operators Association of India) has said, “Any step which improves services for customers is a welcome one. I believe that post the meeting between TRAI and operators, the POI issue is being addressed.” “Operators want the issue of asymmetric traffic to be addressed on urgent basis,” he added.
