Sounds like TRAI chief doesn't have a very cooperative press corps. "Another official of the TRAI admitted that most of the members were in favour of raising the long-distance calls marginally and thereby raising the revenue instead of raising the rentals of the fixed-line phones and reducing the pulse rate from 180 seconds to 120 seconds. "But some powerful people overruled this decision. Please do not quote me on this otherwise they would be after my life," he claimed. When asked how much revenue did they expect to raise through the changes that they have been announced, Verma refused to give a categorical reply."
