TRAI releases consultation paper on DTH issues

 [IST]
New Delhi, Mar 2 (UNI) In view of the increasing importance and popularity of Direct to Home (DTH) mode of delivering TV services and its competition to cable TV, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) today released a consultation paper on various regulatory matters.

There are also issues regarding the quality of the service to consumers as well as certain problems being faced by the direct-to-home operators and the broadcasters.

However, the TRAI consultation paper leaves out the tariff issue.

It said these issues should be looked at after some time when the impact of the competition in general, and impact of roll out of the CAS in cable TV in particular can be assessed.

The major issues posed for consultation are related to interconnection, quality of service standards and regulatory issues regarding set top boxes.

At present, apart from Doordarshan which provides free to air channels, there are two other DTH service providers for pay channels and two more have obtained license to commence operation.
