Thomas, Hindu Businessline New Delhi , Sept. 25 In a bid to bring down the prices of international bandwidth, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has urged the Government to speed up its policy on providing equal access to cable landing stations to all operators without discrimination. The telecom regulator had made a recommendation in December 2005 which had mandated equal access to bottleneck facility at cable landing stations for submarine cables by operators. After more than nine months, the Department of Telecom is yet to take a view on the TRAI proposals. The TRAI Chairman, Mr Nripendra Misra, in a letter written to the DoT Secretary, Mr D.S.
