GSM operators fail in QoS tests

As per this news on the Hindu Business Line, Airtel, Hutch and BPL mobile in Mumbai have failed in the TRAI tests for QoS. it came as a shock to me, because I had rated Airtel and Hutch high on the services. Unfortunately TRAI has higher standards then mine. There are regions were there no signal, for instance no the Chembur Vashi connector, but I had been taking it as acceptable!

I have always hated MTNL's mobile service, and I frown when anyone gives me a number beginning with 9869, because I know I would not be able to reach this person, in spite of this 10 digit numeral. No wonder that it was not considered for the QoS test!!
