    Strategic Functions of TRAI

    TRAI is The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India which was formed in January 1997 with a
    view to provide an effective regulatory framework and adequate safeguards to ensure fair
    competition and protection of consumer interests. The Government is committed to a strong
    and independent regulator with comprehensive powers and clear authority to effectively
    perform its functions.
    Main functions of TRAI are:
    (a) protect and promote the interests of the consumers and
    (b) ensure fair competition.
    TRAI monitors and determines the appropriate tariff structure on an ongoing basis to equitably
    protect the interest of consumers and industry. The TRAI ensures the availability of
    interconnect on a non-discriminatory basis.
    • TRAI will be involved in the dispute settlement between Licensor and Licensee to
    speed up the process of resolving any disputes.
    • Clarify that the dispute arising out of such licensing conditions that involve fulfilment of
    obligation by DoT as service-provider would fall within the jurisdiction of TRAI which
    also includes:
    • need and timing for introduction of new service provider
    • revocation of license for non-compliance for terms and conditions of license
    • measures to facilitate competition and promote efficiency in the operation of
    telecommunication services so as to facilitate growth in such services.
    • efficient management of available spectrum
    • Though legally not mandatory, Government will normally seek recommendations from
    the TRAI on need and timing of new licenses and other important policy matters relating
    to development of Communications industry. These recommendations, however, will
    not be binding on the Government.
    Telecommunication is a vital infrastructure. It is also technology intensive. It is, therefore,
    necessary that the administration of the policy in the telecom sector is such that the inflow of
    technology is made easy and India does not lag behind in getting the full advantage of the
    emerging new technologies. An equally important aspect is the strategic aspect of telecom,
    which affects the national and public interests. It is, therefore, necessary to encourage
    indigenous technology, set up a suitable funding mechanism for indigenous R&D so that the
    Indian Technology can meet the national demand and also compete globally which is a
    function of TRAI.
