New Delhi: Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd has claimed that India’s top three telecom firms have generated as much as Rs1.04 trillion in revenue in the past five years on account of non-implementation of a 2011 Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) road map to cut interconnection user charges (IUC) to zero.
Reliance Jio was referring to the 2011 report on IUC by Trai that was filed as an affidavit in the Supreme Court.
