New Delhi, March 5: Not just home-grown startups, large traffic generators (LTGs) like Google have also opposed the proposal for a fair-share contribution for additional costs borne by telecom service providers (TSPs), industry body Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) said on Tuesday.

The TSPs have endlessly reiterated that smaller players, startups and MSMEs which generate low traffic would not be required to pay the fair-share charge, but only the top 4-5 LTGs which generate mammoth volumes of traffic would have to contribute, to share in the rising network costs.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Cellular Operators Association of India Says Not Just Home-Grown Startups, LTGs Like Google Also Opposed Fair-Share Demand From Telcos.

슬롯사이트œThese global behemoths seem fully prepared to oust the home-grown Indian companies based on pure financial motive, with no regard for this vital ecosystem of players who bring innovation and entrepreneurship to the fore,슬롯사이트 said the COAI.
