What is the full form of IUC ?

Answer:

Iuc Definition: IUC Full Form: Interconnect Usage Charge

Iuc Description:
IUC full form or meaning in telecom is Interconnect Usage Charge.
When a customer of a mobile operator calls a customer of another mobile operator, the outgoing operator has to pay a charge to the incoming operator, which is called the interconnect usage charge.
Such calls which are made on other networks are called off-net calls.
The IUC or Interconnect usage charge is fixed by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
For example, assuming you are using a SIM of Jio, and you call any of your relatives who are using SIM for Airtel, then your operator Jio, has to pay a certain charge per minute, determined by the Telecom Regulatory Authority.
In India, the interconnect usage charge, by TRAI, is kept at six paise per minute, meaning the outgoing operator has to pay 6 paise for every minute to the incoming operator.
However, TRAI has laid the deadline of January 2021 to eliminate the interconnect user charge.
The elimination of interconnect usage charges will mean that no operator will have to pay the outgoing call to other operators to whom incoming calls will be made.
Whenever we make a call, it uses two networks, one network using which we make the call, which is called outgoing network, and the other, using which we receive the call, which is done by the incoming network. ,
Then both networks have to work during any call, that’s why TRAI made a rule that outgoing operators have to pay some money on the incoming operator so that the incoming operator is not harmed.
TRAI made this rule thinking that this will maintain cohesion among all mobile operators, and no operator will refuse to take more and more incoming calls. TRAI had also set a time limit, so that when all the mobile operators have almost equal customers, then this interconnect user charges can be eliminated because all the operators will be paying an almost equal amount to each other.
But this did not happen and after Jio came in the market in 2016, Jio’s customers suddenly increased
