The IUC was started in 2003 itself at 50 paise per minute. Later this cost was being reduced in 2004, 9, 15 and 17, with same method of consultation papers. Where you read that in 2003 it was decided to End IUC??

Call cost for operators is much higher on 2G while it is just 0.11 paise per minute on 4G, written in the same 60+ pages PDF you attached. Who benefits directly from this? Who has 4G only network in India? If 0 IUC is implemented then operators have to shut down 2G network and then those people will buy Jio Phones, who will get profit?

so YOu want to Continue outdated 2G network okay..So can you tell me who will benefit from this..?? Consumer n if consumers Then HOW ?? and also tell me What is the per second charges if we make 2G calls...? tell me.. By keeping 2G N IUC All these old Operators just wnt to keep on earning money from Customers...I don't understand why u have sympathy for those operators who have just looted Customers for more den 15 years..

N also let me tell you Airtel was the first operator who launched 4G services in india.. still Why even after many years They cud not upgrade Their 4G infrastructure fully ..
N Even after launching 4G ..Airtel ppl were just keep on looting Customers...they couldn't lower their tarrif ... Can you tell me why.....

Airtel installed one 4G tower in Kolkata in 2012 and claimed the first 4G Network of India. And giving full page advertisement of their 4G on all leading newspaper that time.
And then 2016 Jio launched and show them(Airtel) their Aukaad.
I guarantee you if Jio not launched 4G in 2016 then we r still using Airtel 2G till 2030.
