One Paise/sec Plan mandatory
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has ordered all Mobile Operators to offer their customers a tariff plan of one paisa per second along with other offerings. It is now said to become "mandatory" for service providers to provide in each service area at least one tariff plan each for both postpaid and prepaid subscriber with a uniform pulse rate of 'one second'.
TRAI claimed that, "It has been observed that per second billing system is more acceptable among the majority of subscribers, because it enables the subscriber to pay only for the actual usage. The service providers will be at liberty to offer alternative tariff plans with any pulse rate within the overall ceiling of 25 tariff plans."
The operators are believed to offer up to 25 tariff plans, but at least one should be on 'per second pulse' basis.
