New Delhi, August 06: Amid the uproar against pesky calls and messages in the corridors of power, Tatas today proposed commercial penalties on operators for unsolicited telemarketing calls and alleged that rivals were resorting to pressure tactics to challenge its dominance.
“Yes, we are the market leader and a dominant player in the SMS market today… (Our) SMS marketing is completely within the regulatory provision,” Tatas said when asked about the complaints against their SMSes from people including telecom professionals working for other service providers.
Tata Teleservices (TTSL) was asked about a complaint lodged by Narinder Gupta, who is incidentally heading the Regulatory Affairs of market leader Airtel, with telecom regulator TRAI, seeking immediate remedial measures.
