NEW DELHI — The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has officially rolled out a dedicated digital platform named Anubhav, designed to allow mobile and broadband subscribers across the nation to independently test, verify, and compare internet speeds delivered by various service providers in real time.
