TRAI for Improvements in Internet Traffic handling

TRAI has released a consultation paper, “Improvements in the effectiveness of NIXI“[PDF]. NIXI was established to interconnect all the ISPs in India such that local traffic could be routed effectively. However, TRAI has observed that,

Limited number of ISPs have joined NIXI resulting in sub optimal utilization of NIXI’s infrastructure. A lot of domestic traffic is still not routed through NIXI negating the very purpose of NIXI.

IMHO, compared to other govt organizations, TRAI is doing an excellent job and hopefully our ISPs will co-operate in achieving the revised goals set forth in National Telecom Policy.
