I'd also like to note that TRAI has usually been on the side of user's and not usually caved into lobbying. Over the years they've made sure of:

* Free incoming calls

* state-level number portability so you can switch carriers and hang on to the old number

* national level number portability

* compensation to callers for dropped calls -- an incentive for telecoms to uphold a certain level of service quality

* and now, a stern reply to FB's misleading campaign on free basics.

India as a result has very healthy competition in the telecom space, and the lowest rates in the world.

Kudos, TRAI.
