Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) has welcomed Airtel’s move to provide more points of interconnect (POI) to the Jio network. Jio has been pushing for more interconnect points with incumbent operators, over concerns of call drops and violations of TRAI regulations. TRAI quality of service regulation mandates that POI congestion should not affect more than one in two hundred calls.
Over a period of just 10 days, 22 crore calls have been dropped to the Airtel network alone, a total of 52 crore calls have dropped on the networks of incumbent operators, Airtel, Vodafone and Idea. The situation has deteriorated so much that over 75 out of 100 calls placed in the last few weeks have been dropped. RJIL has raised the issue that a lack of interconnect is hindering the entry of the new operator, and is an anti-competitive measure.
