BSNL issues new WLL tariffs; launches alternate plans


PTI [ MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 2002 5:02:04 PM ]

NEW DELHI: Following the telecom regulator's directive on limited mobility tariffs, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd has issued new tariffs plans for Wireless in Local Loop services, including an alternate plan where it would charge Rs 250 rental with Rs 450 plan charges and offer 500 free calls.

"We have recently issued the new packages and the standard tariff has a monthly rental of Rs 200 per month and usual call charges are applicable. Amongst alternate tariff packages, we have Rs 250 per month rental, inclusive of Calling Line Identification charges and normal call charges of Rs 1.20 for three minute outgoing," said B R Khurana, Director (Commercial and Marketing), BSNL.

Khurana said other packages include one with Rs 250 rental with Rs 100 plan charges (total Rs 350) and 100 free calls.

Under yet another tariff package, BSNL has pegged the rental at Rs 250 with Rs 450 plan charges (total Rs 700) and 500 free calls.

He said the new tariff packages were approved by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) and have already been issued.

The issue of new tariffs by BSNL follows Trai's latest order in July this year which slashed monthly rental for Wireless in Local Loop (WLL)-- limited mobility telephone by over 55 per cent to Rs 200 from a minimum of Rs 450 earlier, besides doing away with the floor price mechanism.

The basic service providers were earlier charging minimum Rs 450 per month (with the upper ceiling of Rs 550) towards monthly rental with outgoing call costing Rs 1.20 for three minutes and free incoming calls.

Among the basic service providers, MTNL has been offering services in Delhi and Mumbai under the brand name Garuda and BSNL has also started services in various parts of the country while among the private service providers, Tata, Shyam and HFCL have already started WLL services in their respective circles.
