Bharti complains to DoT against BSNL
Bharti Airtel has sought the intervention of the Department of Telecom to ask State- owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd to not block calls carried by private long distance operators within a circle.
BSNL, on the other hand, said that it was not blocking any calls.
It also said that the issues involved revenue implications for the PSU to which DoT could not turn a blind eye.
Revenue loss
Admitting that BSNL was facing huge revenue loss, Bharti said that the same could not be a reason for any operator to not comply with the licence condition and deny legitimate right of NLD operators.
'You would appreciate while all other areas are being opened for competition, this is being artificially protected by BSNL despite a clear amendment in the licence agreement. We request DoT to issue a firm instruction to BSNL to allow the private NLDOs to terminate the intra-circle traffic on its existing point of interconnection,' said the Bharti letter.
