International Roaming in India: A Raw deal for fellow SAARC citizens


Posted on February 25, 2011  /  0 Comments

The purpose of SAARC is defied, in terms of electronic connectivity. The lack of uniformity and transparency in international voice tariffs has been ongoing despite the Colombo Declaration of the 15th SAARC summit. The disparity is more so for international roaming. The most recent benchmarking report published by LIRNEasia demonstrates the inconsistencies. On average Indian roamers are offered some-what low tariffs while roaming within South Asia. However, this is not the case for fellow SAARC roamers while in India who are subject to higher tariffs. Both reports (International Voice and International Roaming) can be accessed via this link.
