TRAI refuses to pull 100 SMS per day cap
Do you like this story?
Notwithstanding opposition from telecom operators, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has made it clear that it is not going to withdraw its move to restrict SMS to 100 per day per SIM for all subscribers. The restriction on SMS, however, will not be applicable on festival days such as Diwali and Eid.
The cap has already been effective from 27 Septembet, 2011.
My view:
The move will not go down well with the operators. But does anyone care? Not really, apart from youths who have been trained to do heavy texting by pesky operators, nobody should complaint. Personally, now I wake up without junk sms of real estate developers and marketing company messages selling only the things that I do not require.
Bottomline: Very bold move by TRAI and would be respected by many than otherwise.

What a stupidity TRAI? Do you people understand the consequences of limiting sms? If it's urgent and if a person does not have balance in his mobile, how will he/she communicate? Don't you estimate all the pros and cons before implementing some plan? And great on occassions there is no limit. This is because you people gain by charging Re.1/- on that day. Kindly, remove this stupid plan. You are just limiting the freedom of people in the country. Before, implementing any plan don't forget that this is a democratic country.
