TRAI seeks views on fixing entry-level net worth norm for MSOs in cable TV services

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has put out a consultation paper, seeking views on issues relating to entry-level net worth requirement for Multi-System Operators (MSOs) in cable TV services.

“The objective of the consultation paper is to deliberate whether there is a need to fix entry-level net worth for MSOs, and what its value should be for registration. Further, the paper seeks comments regarding the documents and method to assess the networth of an applicant, if a minimum value is prescribed,” it said in a statement.

The regulator issued the consultation paper after the Information and Broadcasting Ministry sought recommendations from TRAI on the subject.
