A lot has been happening on the telecom front as TRAI has been making several implementations over the last few months. Owing to all changes and the spectrum charges, last month Airtel chief had clearly stated a possibility of rise in tariffs. "We will favour affordable service which should be viable for industry... Who will gain if our business is shut down,” he had said. The tariff hikes have now started to show up. According to Telecom Talk, Idea has already increased their tariffs for their existing prepaid subscribers and is now said to charge 1.3 paise per second, instead of the usual 1.2 paise in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Apparently, the same tariff could be further offered to other circles, too. Idea offers a Rs.3 voucher, which would shift the customer to 1.3 paisa per sec, instead of 1.2 paisa for Local and STD and 1.5 paisa per sec for fixed line.
