The ‘export’ of data will allow app makers to build products based on the tariff information displayed on Trai site. Similarly, people should be able to build apps on top of it (tariff data) to suggest to consumers the best plan to buy in an area,” Sharma said. Asked about the timeline for enabling export of data for the apps, he said: “We will do it pretty soon. Sharma noted that complaints about people-specific (customised) tariffs recently had also prompted the regulator to reiterate its stance on transparency and non-discriminatory framework to the telecom operators.
