- Must ensure effective Level Playing Field between ISPs and VSNL/MTNL/ BSNL who also happen to be Infrastructure Providers to ISPs as well as ISP themselves.
- Tariffs for domestic leased line as well as International Leased Lines including both Internet Leased Lines Ports as well as IPLC should be rationalized and reviewed on the basis of actual costs.

- Usage of alternate access technologies like Cable TV, W-LAN etc to enhance the quality of service as well as to reduce the load on PSTN dialup network.
- Hosting up of Indian web-sites / portals in Regional Languages and development of local contents for citizens services.
- Develop innovative technical solutions like simultaneous voice and Internet services over wired as well as wireless local loop to enable cheaper and faster Internet access over PSTN Lines.
- All Major ISPs both from Private and Public Sector must join hands to fight the menace of Internet Telephony Grey Market, which is only beneficial to the International Carriers, who are not even authorized to provide Internet Telephony Services in the Country.

In addition, the ISPs have also been offering training to the customers on the Internet and bringing in the latest Internet Technology from around the World. The ISPs have committed resources and time in keeping with the positive outlook of the Government towards ‘Liberalized Telecom Policy’ on ‘Internet’ and ‘Convergence’. |
