DELHI: Following protests by several television broadcasters
about the delay in permissions in getting clearances from
the government, it has been decided that a cable operator
may carry or include in his cable service any television broadcast
or channel that applied on or before 11 May 2006.
According
to a notification issued late last month, the Information
and Broadcasting Ministry said such permission would be permitted
up to 31 December 2007 "or till such registration has
been granted or refused, whichever is earlier."
The
announcement has been made as the Cable Operators Networks
(Third Amendment) Rules by substituting the first proviso
in Rule 6(6) of the Cable TV Network Regulations 1994.
