The government of India
today approved a National Telecom Policy 2012, which will replace more than a
12 years old telecom regulations and now mobile service users will be
able to avail FREE Roaming and keep their Phone Numbers even
if they switch service providers anywhere in the country with the Nation
Wide Intra Circle MNP, proposed in the new Telecom Policy.
The cabinet has
approved the new National Telecom Policy with some changes from what was
proposed earlier, The New Telecom Policy recommends one Nation, one license
policy across services and service areas to abolish Roaming charges. The
distinction between local and STD calls would vanish, as the policy aims at a ‘one-nation-one-licence’
regime.
