Airtel is yet again facing issues posed by some operators on Interconnect (IC), which has prompted the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (TRC) to write to them, according to a senior TRC official. Interconnect is a set of legal rules, technical and operational arrangements between network operators that enable customers on one network to communicate with customers of another network. “The operators have to comply and grant the necessary IC to Airtel and we will be writing to those operators who do not comply with this,” H.N. Jayaweera, acting Director General TRC told The Sunday Times FT.

He did not divulge who these operators were, but The Sunday Times FT reliably learns that the operators who have not complied are Suntel, Lanka Bell, Dialog GSM, Mobitel and Tigo. The others – Sri Lanka Telecom, Hutch and Dialog Broadband have granted IC to Airtel. “Airtel has to depend on existing operators to provide seamless interconnectivity between networks as the last lap in serving the customer.

The creation of adequate IC capacity, for this purpose, has been denied so far and this has now become the most critical block against bringing our service to the customers,” K. Srinivas, Executive Director, East, West 1 and Sri Lanka told The Sunday Times FT. At a meeting with all operators held on Friday, February 13, the TRC had taken this matter up where Priyantha Kariyapperuma, Director General TRC had requested all operators to make sure that Airtel requests will be facilitated, but still the compliance seems to be slow, a TRC source said. The DG is out of the country at present.

Mr. Srinivas said IC capacity is not augmented during busy hours by the eight operators, except for Hutch and Dialog Broadband. “As per Telecommunications Act No: 25 of 1991, IC capacity has to be augmented without undue delay. The key issue is when Airtel customers call other operators, they have to try for nearly five to 10 times to get through-especially during the busy hours, “he said.

Pakistan Already issued the New Regulation

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority issues new regulation for cellular operator. I found this an update information as on the dailytime.com this morning. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has intended to verify the previous SIMs (Subscriber Identity Module) of cellular phone operators through National Database Registration sold out before the new activation system. This was stated in a PTA’s draft – Subscriber’s Antecedents Verification Regulations, 2009 aimed at introducing a mechanism for the registration and maintenance of accurate data of subscriber antecedents through proper documentation and verification.

It said all operators will verify all SIM(s) sold up to January 31, 2009 through NADRA which shall be submitted to the authority by March 15, 2009. Besides, they shall furnish a comprehensive report of old subscriber’s data on March 31, 2009 comprising the status (verified, blocked etc) of all SIM(s) sold up to 31st January 2009. In addition to the reporting requirement given in regulation 47 of the PTA (Functions and Powers) Regulations 2006, all operators shall submit reports about connections, record of subscribers, documentations, detail of operator’s franchisees and authorised agents or any information required for the purpose of these regulations on a monthly basis and as and when the authority deems appropriate, it has been added in the draft.

All operators shall be required to update the documentation and record of all connections.

In order to ensure compliance of these regulations, the telecom regulator through its authorised officer(s) may inspect the premises and records maintained by the operator(s) at any time at their customer services outlets or registered/authorised agents/franchisees.

The concerned operator(s) and their registered or authorised agents or franchisees shall provide all the information and shall extend all possible assistance to the authorised officer(s) or representative of the authority to inspect the records. The telecom watchdog has adopted a series of procedures in consultation with the operators and enforcement agencies. Previously, a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) was issued on June 28, 2005 on the subject where mobile companies were required to get their data verified through NADRA database and issue new connection after due verification, it was learnt.

In May 2007, the directive was issued by PTA having split the verification in two parts- ‘New Connection Sale’ and ‘Cleaning of Old Data’ with clear deadlines for mobile operators to complete the task. As a result an adequate amount of old data was cleaned through NADRA database and considerable improvement was observed in new connections’ sales through the franchisees only.

In January 2008, Ministry of IT and Telecom issued a Policy Directive under section 8(2)(c) of the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organisation) Act 1996. In light of the policy directive, a revised SOP was issued inline with the existing policy for immediate implementation by the cellular mobile operators.

As a result, operators had blocked around 11.5 million unregistered and unverified subscribers during last year.

All directives, SOP and orders issued by the authority on or before the notification of these regulations shall be binding and applicable on the operators, the new regulations added. The operators shall revise the verification procedure as and when required by the authority to ensure that all updated technical measures are being implemented by the operators for antecedents documentation and verification.
