Telcos to shift to new regime after current licences expire: Trai chairman

After recommending a unified service authorisation to shift from licensing regime under the Telecom Act, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on Wednesday said the telecom operators can continue to operate under their existing licences till their expiry.

This means that once the Trai recommendations are accepted by the department of telecommunications (DoT), the operators will not be required to immediately shift to authorisation regime.
