A consultation paper on “Bandwidth required for ISPs for better connectivity and improved quality of service”, was released on Thursday by The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
It is learnt that TRAI has issued this process to seek the views of the stakeholders so that it can develop a framework to fortify the existing regulations on quality of broadband service.
According to TRAI, there is a strong prerequisite to identify easily monitorable and enforceable QoS measures. This is mainly in regard to guarantee that a bare minimum (floor) bandwidth is on hand with service providers for provisioning of broadband and internet services with reasonable assured quality to its subscribers.
Keeping in mind the regular complaints of the Indian users regarding the slow speed of dial-up and broadband connections, Telecom regulator TRAI has decided that regulation should be kept in place in order to make sure that connections are provided by the internet service providers (ISPs) only on the capacity of traffic they can carry.
