Vodafone Idea has moved the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate
Tribunal (TDSAT) against the telecom regulator's directive blocking
certain premium plans of Airtel and Vodafone Idea over net neutrality
issues, sources said.
Citing violation of norms and likely impact
on the quality of services for other subscribers out of the plans, the
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), through a letter to both
the telcos, blocked Bharti Airtel's 'Platinum' and Vodafone Idea Ltd's
'RedX' premium plans that offer faster data speeds and priority services
to high-paying postpaid customers.
The matter is listed for Tuesday, July 14 at the tribunal.
TRAI
had asked the telcos to "withhold, with immediate effect and until
further orders" these plans in order to facilitate an examination of
both the schemes by the regulator.
