TRAI issues consultation paper seeking views on norms for DTH services

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Monday issued a consultation paper seeking views and comments on regulatory framework recommended for direct-to-home (DTH) services.

Written response has been sought from stakeholders on the consultation paper by December 14 and counter comments by December 19, TRAI said.

“The comments and counter-comments may be sent, preferably in electronic form on the email, it said.

TRAI had first issued recommendations on “Regulatory Framework for Platform Services” for DTH and multi-system operators (MSOs) services in 2014 which were referred back by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) in October 2020.

An MSO is an authorised service provider providing cable TV services to its subscribers.
