TRAI directs telecom companies with cancelled licenses to inform users about service termination
Telecom regulator TRAI has instructed mobile phone companies with cancelled licences to inform their customers about suspending operations from January 18 2013.
TRAI has given the companies a 10-day deadline to either send text messages or provide the information in writing to all the customers in those circles where they failed to retain airwaves and renew their permits.
