NTO 2.0: Broadcasters look for August 18 SC hearing after deadline miss

The deadline to implement the New Tariff Order (NTO) by broadcasters expired on August 12. According to media reports, broadcasters have stated that they need time to file the new Reference Interconnect Offer (RIO), which will declare the new prices as required by the amended order.

Most broadcasters are yet to file their new pricing with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).

Earlier, the broadcasters moved to the Supreme Court, which while refusing to stay the new tariff order on August 6, set August 18 as the date for the next hearing.
