TRAI Reviews Leased Line Tariffs After Decade

TRAI Reviews Leased Line Tariffs After Decade

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is reviewing the prices of special internet lines called domestic leased circuits (DLCs) that businesses use.

These lines help companies move data securely and quickly between their offices and data centers.

TRAI hasn't changed these prices in over ten years, and now they think it's time to update them because technology has improved and prices in the market have changed.

They want to make sure the prices are fair and reflect what's happening in the market.

TRAI is asking for feedback from companies and other stakeholders to help them make a decision.

They are also considering whether to include virtual private networks (VPNs) in their price regulations, as VPNs have become more popular and make up almost half of the market now.
