TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) has come out with another consumer friendly suggestion for Telecom companies in India. In its recent recommendation, it has asked telecom companies to charge user per second basis. In this new charging scheme, mobile user will be charged per second basis instead of existing pulse basis. Presently, telecom companies charge pulse basis and 60 seconds s considered one pulse. Even if a mobile user talks for hardly 20 seconds, he is charged one unit, for 60 seconds. It has been a revenue earner for telecom company, but it was unfair to mobile users.

Taking cue from TRAI, Systema, which has launched its telecom service recently in Delhi, has started charging user per second basis.

DELHI : Sistema Shyam Teleservices (SSTL) has launched its telecom services in Delhi on Thursday under the MTS brand.
SSTL, a 74:26 JV between Sistema of Russia and the Shyam Group of India, is offering a per-second billing tariff plan. It has positioned itself on data platform with its launch in Delhi.
New telecom licencee MTS launched its high-speed wireless internet services under the brand name, MBlaze offering speeds of up to 3.1 mbps. Sistema Shyam is expecting to source a significant share of revenues from its data transfer services.

The operator is present in six out of the total 22 telecom circles and plans to launch its services in Karnataka and Mumbai by the year-end.
