Telecom Network Congestion Increasing By the Day: TRAI

According to the latest figures issued by the Telecom regulator TRAI, The quality of service of mobile operators has deteriorated over the last five months with number of Points of Interconnection having congestion being increased by over 50%.
 
 
 The worst affected PoIs where Congestion level on PoIs is 80 per cent or more, from Private Operator to BSNL, the regulator said. The PoIs congestion in the network is on account of inadequate junctions between the two networks and this leads to loss of calls and the consequent poor quality of service to the consumers.
 
 The result of the monitoring reveals that in a number of areas, the degree of congestion between the operators is alarming. In a number of cities, the level of congestion between the networks of different operators is far more than this benchmark and the number of such places are increasing.
 
 The benchmark notified by TRAI in the QoS Regulation of July 2005 for this parameter is less than 0.5 per cent.
