Mumbai: Vodafone, one of India’s leading telecom service providers has today in a statement said, “it is committed to continue playing its responsible role in further developing the Indian telecom sector and in creating value for the consumer, the industry and the country.”

The company in its statement further said, ” following guidance from TRAI and clarifications from Jio regarding its commercial launch, Vodafone India has decided to increase the Points of Interconnect (POIs) between the two operators by thrice and accordingly increase the capacity to connect. Vodafone is hopeful that all issues that it has raised with TRAI and Jio will be duly considered and resolved at the earliest.”

The company statement said, “to create a truly connected, inclusive and Digital India, it is vital to have a level playing field between providers offering the same service, encourage innovations and judiciously use a portfolio of technologies – 2G, 3G & 4G to service the evolving needs of consumers across the country.”

It should be mentioned that due to lack of Points of Interconnect(POIs) provided by incumbent operators, customers of new service Reliance Jio are getting call failure when they dial the numbers that are served by such operators. RIL CMD Mukesh Ambani had in his AGM speech said as many as 5 crore call failures were witnessed in one week due to lack of POIs. Reliance Jio is offering lifetime free calls to any network across India to its customers.
