Mumbai: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has issued fresh guidelines in a bid to boost competition and reduce bandwidth price for the end-customer.

The new regulations will make domestic bandwidth cheaper for internet service providers and other users such as BPOs and IT companies, TRAI said.

For service providers, this regulation opens up the possibility of meeting customers'' demand for end-to-end bandwidth from other service providers if such a need arises, TRAI said.
