New Delhi, Dec 13: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) was in final stages to bring out its recommendations for much-awaited in-flight connectivity and also plans to send its inputs to the telecom department for the upcoming new telecom policy, TRAI chairman RS Sharma said on Wednesday.

Talking to reporters at the sidelines of an event here on Wednesday TRAI Chairman said, "Recommendations on in-flight connectivity will come out by the year end, which is in next 15 days."
