Non-implementation of new tariff regime will lead to chaos in broadcasting sector: Trai

NEW DELHI/ MUMBAI: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has expressed that the new broadcasting framework – notified on January 1st this year and challenged by the broadcasters in the Bombay high court – would empower consumers to choose TV channels of their choice. This is despite the fact that the high court is currently hearing the final arguments in the matter.

Trai is of the view that non-implementation of amended tariff order is leading to chaos and would bring back discriminatory practices in the sector.
