DTH, cable rentals won’t breach current bill amount; Trai to evolve guidelines

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) is in the process of evolving a framework under which it will ask Direct To Home (DTH) and cable operators to ensure that the rental of their ‘Best Fit Plan’ that is offered to subscribers does not exceed their old bill amount.

Sources told FE that the regulator is working on a framework where it will direct operators to ensure that the packages being offered to their subscribers under the ‘Best Fit Plan’ should not exceed their old cable TV bills.

The ‘Best Fit Plan’ is to be designed on consumers’ usage pattern and language spoken. It should preferably be a blended combination of various genres.
