Push-to-Trouble for Hutch

Category: VAS | No Comments | Posted on July 26, 2005

Terming the push-to-talk service offered by Hutch as violation of licensing conditions, TRAI has asked government to take appropriate action against the operator.

According to TRAI, Hutch’s service led to avoidance of levy paid by private operators to state-owned BSNL and also security concerns were raised as it is difficult to monitor the calls under this service. According to DoT, Hutch has sought permission to continue offering the personal messaging service and the decision would be taken only after TEC’s recommendation.
