The government of India is considering to merge all 22 telecom circles of the country into either a single service area or four separate zones to enable subscribers to roam freely across states without paying extra charges for roaming.
Roaming services allow cellphone users to continuously make and receive calls while travelling outside the geographical constraints of their home network by using a visited network but currently operators are charging extra for Telecom services outside Home Region.
As per the recommendations of a core team of the Telecom Ministry, “There could be either one service area covering the entire country, or there could be four zones each covering a particular region.” The core team was constituted by the Department of Telecom to give recommendations on strategic issues related to licensing matters. They recommended that “there should be an option to merge certain service areas.”
