The Hindu Business Line : Walky: Tata Tele told to pay Rs 47.5 lakh to BSNL

TATA Teleservices will have to pay up Rs 47.5 lakh, half of the amount demanded by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) as interconnectivity charges payable by TTSL's `Walky' service, according to an interim order issued by the Delhi High Court on Monday.

TTSL could contest the demand itself, but will have to pay up this amount nevertheless, this being part of procedure, according to officials close to the issue.

BSNL, it may be recalled, had demanded that operators who had positioned their fixed wireless services as services offering mobility would have to pay up interconnection charges for the same.

Interconnect usage charges (IUC) are different for mobile services and fixed line services. According to BSNL, operators who claimed to be offering mobility on their fixed line services were evading IUC, while offering their customers the benefit of mobility.

TTSL had filed a petition with the Delhi High Court, seeking to prevent BSNL from taking action for non-payment of its demands.
