TRAI for unlimited entry into mobile radio trunking
New Delhi: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has recommended unlimited entry of new operators and placed a cap of five per cent of the service provider's total revenue from the service as licence fee, for public mobile radio trunking service (PMRTS).

While presenting its recommendations to the government on Monday, TRAI has said that it preferred market forces to determine the number of PMRTS operators, instead of limiting the number in the best interest of consumers.

It has recommended enlarging of service areas in metros to include urban agglomeration up to 50-km radius from the main base station site, whichever is greater. For all other cities, the PMRT service providers should extend to the municipal limits plus a distance of 10 km beyond.
