M/S. RELIANCE INFOCOMM LTD. vs BHARAT SANCHAR NIGAM LTD. .

The Supreme Court, in Civil Appeal No. 936 of 2006, held that the 'Unlimited Cordless' service provided by Reliance Infocomm Ltd. falls under the definition of WLL(M) service as per Regulation 2(xxviii) of the Telecommunication Interconnection Usage Charges Regulation, 2003. The Court clarified that the service, which operates beyond the subscriber's premises, is subject to payment of Additional License Fee (ADC) to BSNL. The appeal against the TDSAT's dismissal of the petition challenging TRAI's directive was therefore dismissed, affirming the classification of the service as WLL(M).
