BTRC chairman said, we will also discuss with us about various packages of mobile operators. BTRC is a customer friendly company. We are working to ensure customer safety. At the same time we are also helping the operators to provide business friendly environment. That is why the commission has decided that no package can be less than 7 days. However, this decision has not yet been implemented. We will hear from the operators by the 9th of next month," said the BTRC chairman.
