Telecom regulator TRAI has refuted claim by mobile operators that call drop compensation will have huge financial implications for them and may not be technically possible to implement. In a statement, TRAI said it's technically possible for the operators to implement the regulation and termed the claim of 54,000 crore rupees per year on account of call drop compensation as exaggerated. TRAI has put the likely figure at 200 crore rupees per quarter which, it said is less than 1 per cent of the total revenues of telecom service providers. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) last month mandated that telecom companies from January 1 should compensate users at the rate of 1 rupee per dropped call, with a ceiling of three dropped calls per day or 3 rupees per day.
