The Supreme Court has put a stay on a TDSAT order which had set aside TRAI's Domestic Leased Circuits Regulation, 2007.

According to the regulation, public sector telecom companies Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) were to provide interconnection for last mile link to private players, or any company that demanded it, within 30 days of an application being made for the purpose. The regulation was challenged before the tribunal by BSNL and MTNL as they consider it unprofitable. TRAI, in turn, approached the Supreme Court against TDSAT's order.
