MUMBAI: Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Tuesday extended the last date for receipt of written feedback on its consultation paper titled "Review of the Regulatory framework for Interconnection".

According to a notification from the regulator, the last date for receipt of written comments has been modified to 4 July and counter-comments, if any to 18 July.

The regulator’s decision came after a request from some of the stakeholders. However, it has been decided that no request for any further extension of time will be entertained.

TRAI had floated the consultation paper in May to asses means of removing entry barriers for new companies and reduce the operational cost of existing operators by handing them greater flexibility.
