The government could not put 3.3-3.6 Ghz frequency range for auction. The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) declined to comment on the matter. Trai had recommended a base price fixed at Rs 492 crore per megahertz for spectrum in 3.3-3.6 Ghz.

COAI issued a stern warning saying that telecom users should not fall into this trap and must not click on any malicious links that have the potential to steal their data from their smartphones or computers. The industry body asked users to break this chain by not forwarding such false messages to any friends or relatives. To stop this, one should simply delete and not forward such messages and therefore, we can together fight this menace and save others from getting cheated, the report said.

Amongst the individual companies, Bharti Airtel Ltd continues to hold the top position, with 29.50% market share.

Regulator Trai's decision to cut call connection charge rate by more than half, if executed, will hit earnings of old mobile operators to the tune of Rs 5,000 crore in the current fiscal, industry body COAI on Wednesday said.

 Representatives of industry body COAI were kept out of the meeting of telecom operators with Trai over the controversial issue of network interconnection at the insistence of Reliance Jio, a top official of the association claimed today.

The telecom operators' association Thursday said Reliance Jio's offer was a "compelling proposition" and good for consumers, but its tariffs cannot be termed as "killer" that will do away with competition.

In a no holds barred attack, Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio Monday lashed out at mobile phone operators body COAI, of which it is a member, for acting "maliciously" as "mouthpiece" of certain dominant incumbent operators having vested interests against the company.

Telecom operators have demanded to bring all stakeholders such as websites, mobile applications and cellphone makers under the ambit of net neutrality regulation.

Under the programme, wi-fi will be delivered, with a viability finding kind of approach, to each and every citizen at the price of about Rs.100 per month. 

The Delhi High Court Monday upheld TRAI's decision making it mandatory for cellular operators to compensate subscribers for call drops from January 1, 2016.

 The GSM mobile subscribers' base in the country increased by 63 lakh in October to reach 73.94 crore, industry body COAI said today.

The Cellular Operators Association of India held its annual general meeting yesterday and elected the new leadership as well as designated its executive council for the new term, it said in a statement.
