New Delhi, Aug 18 (IBNS): Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has raised the penalty on telecom operators to Rs five lakh for poor mobile service quality, including call drops, according to media reports on Friday.

TRAI will also measure call drops based on data collected on the performance of telecom towers and not from the area offices of telecom operators, media reported.

Operators will be penalised if they fail to meet the prescribed benchmark for two quarters.

The penalty will kick-in if call drops in a quarter average more than 2 per cent of the total traffic in a telecom circle, media reported.
