MUMBAI :TRAI had sought comments of the stakeholders on the Draft
Orders on tariff for commercial subscribers for Broadcasting and
Cable Television Services for CAS notified areas and non-CAS areas
by placing these on its website on 2nd November, 2006.
The last date for receipt of comments was 10th November, 2006.
2.Comments of 10 stakeholders were received.
These stakeholders were 5 broadcasters/ distributors, 3 MSOs and
3 hotel industry organizations.
The hotel industry has argued that they should be treated as ordinary
cable subscriber and in case they are not so treated, then specific
tariff should be fixed for them instead of leaving tariff to market
forces.
The broadcasters have stated that there should be no price regulation.
MSOs have stated that hotels should not directly enter into the
interconnection agreements with broadcasters.
