新德里:电信监管机构不考虑修复地板上手机的关税,并将继续保持价格在忍耐,一位高级官员说,另一个打击沃达丰的想法的重复努力让当局设定一个最低比率为移动电话服务。
周二,行业游说团体印度手机运营商协会(COAI)但是需要再次按下底价为数据服务两年的过渡时期,帮助行业恢复经济。
“我们没有考虑关税地板价格因为此举可能不是消费者友好”印度电信管理部门(火车官员告诉等。
但金钱拮据的沃达丰的想法,无法提高标题利率由于竞争,一直在推动政府解决地板,称此举将帮助修复行业的财务状况,并帮助它筹集急需的资金。
事实上,该公司最新的推了6月7日来信,Kumar贝拉Mangalam Aditya Birla集团董事长(ABG)内阁部长Rajiv Gauba写道。ABG co-promoter沃达丰的想法控股27.66%,而另一个co-promoter英国沃达丰集团持有公司44.39%的股份
在信中,贝拉说地板定价机制,以上服务的成本,以及其他措施,如明确调整后总收入(AGR)责任和足够的光谱暂停支付,必须展示政府的意图保留三个私人市场参与者。
这个节目的“意图”,政府将帮助生成对潜在投资者的信心放在向负债累累的电信,他补充说。
支持贝拉,SP Kochhar,主任COAI说,在过去的几年里,修复底价提供电信行业已成为至关重要的一些缓解成本压力和经济压力。
“尽管这些金融约束,但在大流行期间,电信服务提供商继续作出重大投资和印第安人提供无缝的网络连接。重要的是要理解,电信公司发生亏损,因为关税的定价下降趋势数据,”Kochhar说。
他补充说,创收现在基本维持经营者的财务状况和缓解成本压力,并指出火车在这个问题上也做了咨询。
然而,监管官员说这是最好的关税是在忍耐,和电信运营商应该提高自己的价格,例如他们在最近几周所做的那样。最近几周,Airtel和沃达丰的想法调整企业邮资已付的关税和基础水平零售计划推高到用户支付计划,以支撑他们的arpu。

<\/figure>NEW DELHI: The telecom regulator<\/a> is not considering fixing a floor for mobile phone tariffs, and would continue to keep pricing under forbearance, a senior official said, dealing another blow to Vodafone Idea<\/a>\u2019s repeated push to get the authorities to set a minimum rate for mobile phone services.
On Tuesday, industry lobby group Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) however once again pressed on the need for a floor price<\/a> for data services for an interim period of two years to help the industry recover financially.
\"We are not considering tariff floor pricing since the move may not be consumer friendly,\" a Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (Trai<\/a>) official told ET.
<\/div><\/div>The official said Trai would not take any divergent view in the matter, since it had already last year rejected the demand from telecom operators who have been seeking fixing of a minimum floor price, at least for data services, to support average revenue per user (ARPU) amid intense competition in the market.
But cash strapped Vodafone Idea, unable to raise headline rates due to the competition, has been pushing the government to fix a floor, saying the move would help repair the financial health of the industry, and help it raise desperately needed funding.
In fact, the company\u2019s latest push came in a June 7 letter that Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairman of Aditya Birla Group (ABG) wrote to cabinet secretary Rajiv Gauba. ABG is a co-promoter of Vodafone Idea holding 27.66%, while another co-promoter UK\u2019s Vodafone Group Plc holds 44.39%
In the letter, Birla said a floor pricing regime, above the cost of service, along with the other steps such as clarity on adjusted gross revenue (AGR) liability and adequate moratorium on spectrum payments, was imperative to showcase the government\u2019s intent of retaining three private players in the market.
This show of \u201cintent\u201d from the government would help generate confidence in potential investors to put in money into the debt-laden telco, he added.

Backing Birla\u2019s call, SP Kochhar, director general of COAI said that in the last few years, fixing floor price has become critical to provide the telecom industry some relief from cost pressures and financial stress.
\u201cDespite these financial constraints, during the pandemic, the telecom service providers continued to make significant investments and provide seamless network connectivity to Indians. It is important to understand that the telcos have incurred losses because of the downward pricing trend of data tariffs,\u201d Kochhar said.
He added that revenue generation was now essential to sustain the financial health of operators and provide relief from the cost pressures, and pointed out that the Trai had also done a consultation over the issue.
The regulatory officials, however, say it\u2019s best that tariffs are under forbearance, and telecom carriers should themselves raise their prices, like they have done in recent weeks. In recent weeks, Airtel and Vodafone Idea have tweaked their corporate postpaid and base level retail tariff plans to push users onto higher paying plans, in a bid to shore up their ARPUs.
Jio's disruptive telecom foray in September 2016 on the back of freebies had triggered intense competition with incumbent players forced to cut their prices to match the newcomer.

<\/a><\/div>Relief to Vodafone Idea, privatization of BSNL necessary to avoid duopoly in telecom sector: CUTS International<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/a><\/div>DoT may get 5G auction rolling by seeking a fresh base price<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
Backing Birla\u2019s call, SP Kochhar, director general of COAI said that in the last few years, fixing floor price has become critical to provide the telecom industry some relief from cost pressures and financial stress.
\u201cDespite these financial constraints, during the pandemic, the telecom service providers continued to make significant investments and provide seamless network connectivity to Indians. It is important to understand that the telcos have incurred losses because of the downward pricing trend of data tariffs,\u201d Kochhar said.
He added that revenue generation was now essential to sustain the financial health of operators and provide relief from the cost pressures, and pointed out that the Trai had also done a consultation over the issue.
The regulatory officials, however, say it\u2019s best that tariffs are under forbearance, and telecom carriers should themselves raise their prices, like they have done in recent weeks. In recent weeks, Airtel and Vodafone Idea have tweaked their corporate postpaid and base level retail tariff plans to push users onto higher paying plans, in a bid to shore up their ARPUs.
Jio's disruptive telecom foray in September 2016 on the back of freebies had triggered intense competition with incumbent players forced to cut their prices to match the newcomer.
