TRAI consults telcos on measures for protecting consumers
New Delhi, Aug 2: Telecom regulator TRAI today asked for comments from telecom operators on measures for protecting consumers'' interest and redressal of customer grievances. The consultation paper aims to strengthen the regulatory framework and provide adequate protection to telecom consumers.

“The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) today issued a consultation paper seeking the views of various stakeholders on measures to protect the interest of consumers,” the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) said in a statement. Stakeholders have been asked to send their comments by September 1, 2010.
