Trai) has set a clear definition of "international traffic" as SMSes either originating or terminating from computer servers and applications from outside India. Trai's introduction of the definition of international SMSes under the unified licence has put an end to a decade long debate between telecom operators and multinational corporations (MNCs).

India's telcos said this was a way for MNCs to avoid paying almost a 20 times higher cost for delivering messages which were originating overseas. According to the new definition, «Any incoming application to person (A2P) SMS message shall be treated as an international SMS message, if it cannot be generated, transmitted or received without the use or intervention of any electronic device, computer system or computer application located outside India,» Trai said in its recommendations released on Tuesday.
