In a letter dated May 16, Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), the GSM industry body, asked the Trai "to review its decision of the CECN network and allow differential tariffs on the basis of content irrespective of whether such content is provided through the closed network or open internet".
The argument put forth by the COAI for a revocation is lack of clarity in the regulator's order. The industry body has argued that regulator has allowed discriminatory pricing of data services in case the data is provided over closed electronic communication network (CECN), or intranet.
However, the COAI has said that the regulator has failed to provide clarity over what a host of issues pertaining to CECN, including what exactly is CECN.
