Airtel's charge, Jio is doing arbitrary: At this time ring duration remains the main reason for the dispute between Jio and Airtel. Airtel accused Jio that Jio has reduced ring durations so that it can decide the interconnect usage charge accordingly.

TRAI asked for a quick decision: Taking cognizance in this matter, TRAI has prepared a discussion paper 'Duration of alert for the called party'. Through this, TRAI has sought the opinion of companies for maximum ring durations. Along with this, TRAI has also asked companies to take a quick decision while showing mutual consent.
