TRAI suggest uniform 8 per cent license fee for ISP

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), on 1st May, recommended a uniform licence fee of 8 per cent of the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) for Internet service providers (ISP) licences. It also said that a minimum presumptive AGR for the purpose of licence fee shall be applicable on the existing ISPs holding the broadband wireless access (BWA) spectrum as applicable to the licensees who obtained access spectrum through competitive bidding.

Issuing recommendations on “Definition of adjusted gross revenue (AGR) in licence agreements for provision of Internet services and minimum presumptive AGR”, TRAI said revenue for the purpose of licence fee for ISP licences would include all types of revenue from Internet services, allowing only those deductions available for pass-through charges and taxes/levies, as in the case of access services, without any set-off for expenses.
