| dc.description.abstract | The TRAI released its first tariff order in
March 1999 at the end of a consultation
process beginning in November 1997. This
paper analyses the tariff order in the
context of economic principles of tariff
regulation and regulatory practice. The
order achieves its basic objective of 'tariff
rebalancing/ However, it is not possible
to evaluate the rebalancing in terms of
'cost-orientation' and 'operator viability' as
there is little information on costs and
profitability of the Department of
Telecommunication (DoT). This information
problem is likely to persist and
hamper effective regulation as long as
DoT is not corporatized and given a
commercial orientation. | |
