TRAI on Monday recommended the rules of network testing before an operator commercially introduces mobile services, proposing clear limits on number of trial subscribers to be onboarded and a 90-day period for the test phase.
The issue of dos and dont’s for network testing had stirred up a storm in the industry after Reliance Jio amassed over 1.5 million users even before commercial introduction of its services last September.
The established operators had, at that time, cried foul and charged the newcomer with offering full-fledged mobile connection loaded with freebies in the guise of a trial service.
