Discrimination against BSNL customers by private telecom operators scrapped by Supreme Court. A report in CNBC
Telcos have lost a differential tariff case dating back to 2008 at the Supreme Court. The private telcos charged higher for calls to BSNL, MTNL customers in states like Maharashtra, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh. However, calling the move as arbitrary, the apex court said that customers cannot be differentiated based on call origination. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has asked telcos to set aside extra amount collected.(courtesy :CNBC TV)
