Trai tariff order drives 15m away from TV

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: The broadcasting sector is in turmoil what with the number of pay TV subscribers falling in millions, barely six months after introduction of the New Tariff Order in February this year. According to KPMG’s latest report on the media and entertainment sector, the new regulatory framework has already reduced the number of pay TV subscribers by 12–15 million this year. Or it still deems broadcasting as a service, which was the regulator’s original mandate when it was given the charge of regulating the telecom sector," the domain expert asked. According to an industry expert, Trai, in its zeal to protect "broadcasting services", has put "broadcasters" in a disadvantaged position with frequent and tough regulatory interventions, which undermine investments made in the sector.
