Telecommunications DoT sends fresh show-cause notice to Reliance Info Our Bureau
New Delhi , Dec. 14 THE Department of Telecom has sent a fresh show-cause notice to Reliance Infocomm, asking why a penalty of Rs 150 crore should not be imposed on it for routing international long-distance calls as local calls. This is the third notice sent by DoT to the company on the issue. The company has been asked to respond to the notice within a week. The new notice followed Reliance Infocomm's assertion that the DoT's earlier notice of November 24 was unjustified. Reliance had replied that it had not violated any licence condition and the penalty was being imposed unfairly since the ILD calls in question were being routed through a service called Home Country Direct service, which is recognised both by the DoT and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The company has said that the nature of call routing in this service is such that the caller line identification (CLI) would show it as a local number despite it being an ILD call.
