TRAI open to finetuning new cable tariff order

NEW DELHI: India’s broadcasting regulator is open to “finetuning” the new cable TV tariff regime to address any “aberrations” but won’t rush into this without adequate data backup, chairman RS Sharma told ET.

Sharma said the new regime marked a “paradigm shift,” giving customers transparency and choice and providing a level playing field for operators.

“When a new thing is put in place, you always notice that in some areas, things are not working out the way you had imagined, or in some areas some finetuning is required,” said Sharma, head of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai).
