The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) plans to scrutinise the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) proposal to merge all 22 telecom circles in the country into a single service area. However, no timeline has been set for the same, according to reports.
The government is considering the merger of the 22 telecom circles in the country into either a single service area or four separate zones to enable subscribers to move freely across states without paying extra charges for roaming.
A core team of the DoT has said that there could be either one service area covering the entire country, or there could be four zones each covering a particular region.
