Greater consumer role in telecom decisions stressed

Our Bureau

Hyderabad , May 17

THE need for greater transparency and the involvement of the public, especially consumers, in the functioning of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Adjudication Tribunal (TDSAT) was underscored by Mr Justice J. Chelameswar of the Andhra Pradesh High Court.

Delivering the inaugural address at a seminar on `Decade of Telecom Reforms in India,' organised by the Centre for Telecom Management and Studies (CTMS), the Institution of Engineers and the Institution of Electronic and Telecom Engineers, on the occasion of the World Telecom Day, Mr Justice Chelameswar said that of all the species, human beings were the most communicative and that it was in the communication of ideas through speech, text, images and graphics that the sum total of knowledge in the world increases.

. The Director, CTMS, Mr T.H. Chowdary, recalled the words of Thomas Alva Edison that no other sector had experienced such transformation and `we will make electricity so cheap that only the rich can afford to burn candles.'
