On MNP, Sharma said TRAI had received a complaint from
Reliance Jio with regard to refusal of Mobile Number Portability facility by existing operators.
"We have asked the concerned operators to tell us what the facts are. Some operators have given us the information and in case of some others, we are still awaiting (the information)," he said, adding that TRAI will take action based on whatever inputs it receives.
Reliance Jio had complained that Airtel was blocking the mobile number portability (MNP) facility for its subscribers who wished to switch to Jio's services.
"We are clear in our minds that customer convenience, quality of service and protection of customer interest is very important. Therefore, in all areas like quality of service, congestion and interconnectivity, we will take a serious view," he said.
Sharma added information on MNP "pertained to factual details of the situation".
"We will certainly act quite fast. We have given them couple of days to submit this information to us on PoI congestion. We will get that information and take appropriate action," he pointed out.
