New Delhi: Amid a raging debate on efficacy and results of speed test apps, Trai plans to ‘study’ the methodology and other nuances of such applications used for checking upload and download speeds of data, an official said. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) is calling major speed test apps for a presentation to “understand” their methodology. The regulator plans to meet 7-8 mobile internet speed testing firms, including Ookla, over the next one or two months, in this regard. On the other hand, Mukesh Ambani-owned Jio has been recording highest speed over the past few months on Trai’s own speed test app called ‘MySpeed’ app. The idea is to make the public aware of all the options available, and educate the customer,” a Trai official said on condition of anonymity.
