TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) today announced the revised interconnection usage charges (IUC) for domestic calls and slightly increased them for incoming international calls. To be more specific, the domestic IUC has been reduced to about 33% approximately and IUC for international calls has been increased to 40 paise instead of 30 paise presently.
Also, according to reports, it has been made clear that the reduction in domestic IUC would be affective for all types of calls such as Fixed to fixed, mobile to fixed, and fixed to mobile. And the above changes would be made effective 1st of April onwards.
For those who don’t know what exactly is Interconnection usage charges, it is the charge levied by the telecom company to whom a call is being terminated to. For example a call is being made by a Vodafone customer to Airtel customer, then Vodafone will have to pay some amount of IUC (as fixed by TRAI) to Airtel .
In the previous years, as and when there were changes in the IUC, the call tariff by the mobile phone operators also affected accordingly. According to TRAI, even this time, it expects this initiative to reduce domestic call charges in India as domestic IUC has been reduced to about 33 percent. Hope this step by Indian Telecom watch dog (TRAI) will bring down domestic call tariffs (specially in mobile phones).

Idea Cellular and Research In Motion (RIM) have announced that the BlackBerry will soon be available to Idea customers. Idea will offer a broad range of BlackBerry smartphones and services for enterprise and individual customers on its network, nationally.
The BlackBerry solution provides customers with easy wireless access to email, phone, calendar, web and multimedia applications, as well as access to thousands of other mobile business and lifestyle applications.
BlackBerry smartphones will now be available from Idea stores, leading modern trade, and multi-brand outlets across 15 circles of Idea Cellular’s network, throughout the country. Idea Cellular will offer BlackBerry Enterprise Server support to corporate customers and other organizations that manage their own email servers. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server software tightly integrates with IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise and provides advanced security and IT policy controls to enable secure, push-based wireless access to email and other corporate data.
If you remember, in a recent post, our co-author – Ritu published about a unlimited email plan for Airtel Blackberry users worth RS. 499 per month. This plan once activated, lets a blackberry users access unlimited email and Instant messengers (like Gtalk & Yahoo) for one complete month. But surprisingly, immediately after Airtel’s announcement of this plan, Vodafone too launched exactly a similar plan but for a better and competitive rate.
This plan by Vodafone costing Rs. 299 per month would give a Vodafone customers exactly the same benefits as in the case of Airtel but the only difference is its price. Airtel charges Rs. 499 and Vodafone declared the same services for just 299 bucks a month. Well, if you are planning to activate this plan, let me tell you, unlimited usages will be only for accessing Email and not browsing the Internet.
I say Vodafone is finally curious about attracting more and more corporate users towards its brand. Hope there would be more such competitive offers in the days to come. 🙂
