沃达丰Idea寻求延迟零iuc制度

沃达丰Idea敦促电信监管机构将取消互连费用的计划从2020年1月的最后期限推迟到2020年1月,称终止通话总是会有成本,尽管大规模推出4G VoLTE网络,但大多数印度移动用户仍在使用2G和3G平台。

沃达丰Idea寻求延迟零iuc制度加尔各答:沃达丰的想法印度电信监管机构敦促电信监管机构推迟原定于2020年1月取消互连收费的最后期限,称终止通话总是会有成本的,而且印度大多数移动用户仍在使用2G和3 g尽管平台广泛4 g 网络的发布。

“有必要延长适用日期,零终止费不应该从2020年1月1日起适用,因为移动终止是一种基于成本的收费,永远不可能是零,”Voda Idea在向印度电信监管局(Trai)提交的文件中表示,该机构曾就推迟引入零互连使用费的提议征求意见。没有指明具体的持续时间IUC鉴于终止成本永远存在,该公司转而敦促监管机构“根据TRAI法案,将终止通话的成本作为其职能的一部分”。

纯4G运营商Reliance Jio反对推迟零iuc制度,称Trai的提议是为了激励竞争对手Bharti Airtel和Vodafone Idea,这两家公司尚未将网络完全升级到4G标准。它说,任何延迟零iuc制度都会对Trai和政府的信誉产生不利影响,此外还会降低投资者对电信行业的信心,并阻碍国内外投资。

Airtel敦促印度电信将零iuc制度从原定的1月截止日期推迟至少三年,称网络之间的流量对称尚未实现,超过4亿移动用户仍在使用2G网络。

Kotak的分析师表示,无论Trai的咨询结果如何,Jio都将受益,因为推迟将意味着其净外充值收入可以成为一个有意义的营业收入来源,而从1月起及时实施零IUC将意味着Mukesh ambani拥有的电信公司的IUC支出将消失。

Kotak Institutional Equities表示,Jio将在“未来几个季度成为IUC净盈利者”,并补充说,即使零IUC在最后期限后推迟两年,这家最新的电信公司“也将能够收回未来4到5个季度可能不得不支付的约200亿卢比的累计IUC净成本”。

IUC由发起呼叫的电信公司向目的地网络付费。Jio目前是IUC的净支付人,而Airtel和Voda Idea是净接收人,这凸显了它们各自立场的原因。

Voda Idea表示,“语音通话仍主要使用电路交换网络”,即使考虑到“Jio 100%的用户使用4G VoLTE, 56%的(整体)移动用户使用2G/3G网络”,对2G设备的需求强劲,而“VoLTE设备和流量的渗透率要低得多”。

该公司表示:“其2G/3G网络承载了大量的入网外流量,因此终止呼叫产生了巨大的成本。”该公司表示,尽管消费者正在向4G迁移,但关闭2G/3G网络需要一段时间。

\"Vodafone Kolkata: Vodafone Idea<\/a> has urged the telecom regulator to defer scrapping interconnect charges from the planned January 2020 deadline, saying there will always be a cost of terminating a call, and majority of India\u2019s mobile users continue to be on 2G and 3G<\/a> platforms despite extensive 4G<\/a> VoLTE<\/a> network rollouts.

\u201cThere's a need to extend the applicable date, and zero termination charge should not be applicable from January 1, 2020, as mobile termination is a cost-based charge, and can never be zero,\u201d Voda Idea said in its submissions to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), which had sought comments on a proposal to defer introduction of zero interconnect usage charges. Without suggesting a specific duration of
IUC<\/a> extension on grounds that termination costs will always exist, the company instead has urged the regulator to \u201cdetermine the cost of terminating a call as part of its function under the TRAI Act\u201d.

Pure 4G carrier Reliance Jio though has opposed the move to defer zero-IUC regime, saying Trai\u2019s proposal was created to incentivise rivals, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea, which are yet to fully upgrade their networks to 4G standards. Any deferment of zero-IUC regime, it said, would adversely impact Trai and the government\u2019s credibility, besides reducing investor confidence in the telecom industry and discourage foreign and domestic investment.
