Jio seeks zero interconnection charge while rivals seek hike
Reliance Jio has proposed that interconnection usage charges should be zero, while rivals Airtel, Idea, and Vodafone sought to raise them. In a meeting with TRAI, incumbents pitched for doubling of charges from the current 14 paise per minute. This is because telcos feel current charges benefit Jio, which is choking their networks by landing large number of free calls.
