Section 27 in Telecommunication Interconnection (Charges and Revenue Sharing) Regulation, 1999
27. In its comments, the DOT agreed to the proposed revenue shares, provided that they applied to the rate of Rs. 1.30 per PSTN call. It should be recalled that the second consultation paper had proposed a call charge of Rs. 1.30 per metered call, which was reduced by the Telecommunication Tariff Order 1999 to an upper limit of Rs. 1.20 per metered call. To quote from the DOT's comments:
"TRAI's proposed revenue shares of 60:40 and 45:55 respectively for STD and ISD revenue between private operators and DOT need to be made applicable on the highest call tariff, i.e. Rs. 1.30 for PSTN call and Rs. 1.50 for ISDN call"
