No mobile roaming charges from next year: Sibal

The policy was approved in May 2012, but will take time to implement as government is working on spectrum auction formalities right now.

As envisaged in the National Telecom Policy (NTP) 2012 that was released by the government in May this year, the Union Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal has said that there will not be any charges from next year.

Currently operators are charging Rs 1 for incoming and Rs 1.5 for outgoing calls while roaming and they are opposing this move as they fear that it would lead to huge revenue losses for them.
