A proposal to abolish domestic roaming charges imposed by mobile phone service providers is being considered by the government, Union IT and Communications Minister A Raja said on Saturday. Talking to reporters at the airport here, Raja said discussions were still on in this regard in line with a commitment by his predecessor Dayanidhi Maran. Maran had promised to waive roaming charges as a "gift to the nation" on June 3, coinciding with the birthday of his granduncle and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi. According to estimates, the move will collectively take away Rs 4,000 crore from various telecom operators. Asked about the chances of bringing telephone services in Chennai under the Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL), Raja said decisions on such policy matters could not be taken in a haste. "Such decisions could not be taken just like that, as after all it has been hardly four days since I assumed the new office," he said. Raja was on his first visit to his Perambalur constituency after taking charge of the IT and communications portfolio. |
