However, incumbent operators such as Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular have refused to give extra points of interconnect.</div><div class="second_post_adv_main" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-align: center; word-wrap: break-word;"><div class="second_post_adv" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; margin: 24px; padding: 0px; width: 300px; word-wrap: break-word;"></div></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; word-wrap: break-word;">Incumbent telcos have claimed that the traffic imbalance emanating from Reliance Jio’s network was choking their networks.

We therefore request Trai to invite all members of COAI for this meeting,” it said in a letter dated September 8.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; word-wrap: break-word;">COAI represents GSM telcos including Airtel, Vodafone, Idea as well as Reliance Jio, which is a part of Reliance Industries.</div></div>
