Ashokjp 15 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 i don't know how these guys call these plans as broadband plans with 256kbps speed. As per TRAI minimum should be 512 kbps. As far as i know that is just a TRAI "recommendation" so far, not yet a regulation / rule or anything of that sort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kesav 127 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) According to TRAI, BB means minimum 256 Kbps always-on Edited March 13, 2011 by kesav Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kesav 127 Report post Posted March 14, 2011 Dear friend, it's just a recommendation by TRAI to DoT and not a direction to service providers. But I don't understand why TRAI can't give directions to service providers on the new definition of broadband? :confuse: It's a service regulation and TRAI has its exclusive power in this matter to give directions without any nod from DoT.

kkdeep 6 Report post Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks for clarification. Then this upwards revision means nothing . Now I know why people call TRAI toothless tiger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
