**New Delhi, India** – The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has proposed a new model for Virtual Network Operators (VNOs) that would allow them to partner with multiple telecom operators for both wireless and wireline services. This move is aimed at boosting the quality of wireline services across the country and giving VNOs more flexibility in offering their services to consumers.

Currently, VNOs operate under a framework introduced in 2016 by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). However, their success has been limited due to challenges with business models. The new recommendations from TRAI aim to address these challenges by allowing VNOs to source connectivity for wireless and wireline services from different operators, potentially leading to more competitive pricing and innovative service packages.

TRAI believes that this change will benefit consumers by giving them more choices and potentially leading to better service offerings. They hope that by making it easier for VNOs to operate, they will be able to attract more players into the market, leading to increased competition and ultimately, improvements in the telecom sector.
