The rating is expected to push property managers to improve the quality of digital connectivity to attract potential customers.

"The recommendation will be issued within a month. This is the first time a recommendation from Trai will impact elements outside the telecom sector. The recommendation is also expected to create new jobs for experts in every municipal area," a TRAI official said on the sidelines of a conference on "Rating of Buildings or Areas for Digital Connectivity".

The regulator had floated a consultation paper on the same in March. The conference was inaugurated by the TRAI Chairman PD Vaghela.
