Telcos Oppose Trai's Proposed Quality of Service Rules for 5G Network Slicing
Telecom operators Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea have opposed the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's proposed quality of service rules for 5G network slicing. They argue that using physical resource block (PRB) utilization as a congestion metric is technically impractical and does not accurately reflect customer experience. The operators warn that the regulations could limit network flexibility, hinder innovation, and impose operational burdens. Trai's draft rules require capacity upgrades if congestion exceeds thresholds and mandate prior notice before launching new 5G slices.
