印度电信监管者提议降低DLC关税, 以适应现代更廉价的带宽技术并刺激竞争。 India’s telecom regulator proposes lowering DLC tariffs to match modern, cheaper bandwidth tech and boost competition.

印度电信监管机构TRAI发起了关于修订国内租赁电路(DLCs)费率的磋商,这是2014年以来的第一次审查,目的是根据当前技术和市场条件调整定价。 India’s telecom regulator TRAI has launched a consultation on revising tariffs for domestic leased circuits (DLCs), the first review since 2014, aiming to align pricing with current technology and market conditions. 由于光纤、SD-WAN以及基础设施的扩大,带宽成本迅速下降,而当前的价格上限仍然远远高于市场利率,特别是在偏远地区。 The move follows rapid declines in bandwidth costs due to fiber optics, SD-WAN, and expanded infrastructure, while current price caps remain well above market rates, especially in remote areas. TRAI正在考虑降低上限,允许ISP公司利用自己的或租赁的纤维提供受管理的DLC服务,并将监管定价扩大到以VPN为基础的越来越多的电路。 TRAI is considering lowering ceilings, allowing ISPs to offer managed DLC services using their own or leased fiber, and extending regulated pricing to growing VPN-based circuits. 利益攸关方可在2026年2月22日之前提出意见,因为TRAI力求改善区域的竞争、可负担性和连通性。 Stakeholders can comment by February 22, 2026, as TRAI seeks to improve competition, affordability, and connectivity across regions.
