TRAI chairman Nripendra Misra will meet the top executives of all GSM players on Thursday to find a final solution to them offering interconnect agreements to Reliance Communication’s new GSM lines.

Following Mr Misra’s assurance to address their grievances, ET has learnt all leading GSM players including Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Essar, Idea Cellular and BSNL have understood to have agreed to link their networks with Reliance Communications’ GSM network.

Sources said that RCOM executives too would be part of Thursday’s meet. “TRAI will play facilitator — both sides will meet on Thursday and hold talks. They will settle the commercial terms to interconnection of the networks,” a source added.

The development comes a day before the expiry of TRAI’s directive asking all GSM players to offer interconnections to RCOM. It is also learnt that the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), the body representing all GSM players will not approach the courts or the telecom tribunal over this issue.

Sources also added that while some members of COAI were keen on exploring legal avenues, but the industry body finally decided against the move after having talks with Mr Misra on this issue on Wednesday.
