Almost all cable TV homes moved to new framework: TRAI

Sector regulator TRAI on Friday said it has been informed by players that almost all cable TV consumers have either made their channel preferences or been moved to ‘best fit plan’ under the new tariff regime.

TRAI held a meeting with distribution platform owners (DPOs) on Friday, including multi-system operators (MSO) and all major DTH players, to review the progress of migration of TV viewers under the new framework.

TRAI Secretary SK Gupta told PTI that according to inputs received by the regulator from players, in the case of DTH services, about 43 per cent customers have made their channel preferences known.
