Trai moots renewal of cable company registration after 10 years

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has recommended to the ministry of information and broadcasting (MIB) that the renewal of the registration period for multi-system operators (MSOs) should be 10 years. In its recommendations titled ‘Renewal of MSOs Registration’, the TRAI added that a shorter period of renewal will be counter-productive to a capital-intensive business like cable TV which has a long gestation period.
