TRAI Chairman R.S. Sharma will be focusing on areas such as resolving call drops issue, expediting work on net neutrality and spectrum pricing.

Sharma, wjo was earlier secretary, Information Technology, in the central government, took charge as chairman of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Monday. The post was lying vacant since May 14.

All this will be done while keeping in mind interest of all stakeholders,” he told reporters here.
