The letter issued by TRAI addressed to all telecom operators was read as follows:
Sir/Madam
As you are aware, call drops’ complaints are on the rise, which is a cause of serious concern for the authority. At the same time it has come to the notice of the authority that a few service providers are voluntarily/on demand compensating their subscribers for ‘local’ call drops, to ameliorate the agony and anxiety of the subscribers.
In view of above, the authority would like to know whether any such benefit, in the form of refund, rebate, concession or compensatory talk time etc. is being extended by your company to the subscribers in case of call drop during local calls, STD calls and calls made while roaming. Kindly also provide complete details of the scheme/offer/policy of the company and the number of subscribers to whom such compensation has been offered and the total amount of compensation offered in the last two years and the current year (LSA wise)
About the increasing rate of call drop in India, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said –
It is a national concern. While I appreciate the role of telecom operators in the expansion of mobile network in India, it is equally important for them to reinforce the infrastructure so that people may not have the call drop problems.

Before a year ago am disconnected my phone and broadband connection due to the network problem. And also lack of interest by the employers to correct the problem. But I need am better Internet connection because am an engineering student. Only the BSNL provides the wireless connectivity through mobile towers. None of other mobile network operator haven't reach in my local area. The BSNL tower is an 2G tower and always slow speed. Also when electric power failures tower is also shut down. If the power comes after a many minutes (30-45) tower will on. So I decided to reconnection because my friends says BSNL solve their local area network problem. Then I reach the local exchange. But they didn't ready to give the reconnection. So what I do? I don't know this comment is reach where. If anyone has give a solution is on the case of mobile tower or broadband please help me.
