India to abolish roaming charges
A proposal to abolish domestic roaming charges imposed by mobile phone service providers is being considered by the government, Union IT and Communications Minister A Raja.
He said discussions were still on in this regard in line with a commitment by his predecessor Dayanidhi Maran who had promised to waive roaming charges as a "gift to the nation" on June 3, coinciding with the birthday of his granduncle and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi.
According to estimates, the move will collectively take away Rs 4,000 crore from various telecom operators.
