    Very Good decision by TRAI. But i am not sure that all operator will follow this. i think they have already planned to avoid this.

    I think this will add another round of Chaos in Mobile Subscribers…Becoz the things which TRAI wants to display is of very less use in public domain.. These are things already available to respected companies Annual Report…It is not a significant step taken by TRAI… The steps which I suggest is to compensate the subscribers for the time loss due to the service breakdown, inability to use mobile due to technical reason and all that.

    Oh, and I think TRAI should also issue some directives regards to number recycling… or else the 10 digit era will end soon!
