TRAI ropes in BECIL to audit systems of cable TV, DTH operators under new regime

Sector regulator TRAI has roped in state-owned Broadcast Engineering Consultants India Ltd (BECIL) to conduct audits to ensure that cable TV and DTH companies comply with its new regulatory norms.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, which had earlier warned of action against operators found to be flouting the new tariff order and regulatory regime, said that audits in this regard will begin soon.

“BECIL will conduct the audit on behalf of TRAI, to ensure compliance with the new regulatory framework. We request all distribution platform operators (DPOs) to ensure compliance with the new regulatory framework in letter and spirit,” TRAI Secretary S. K. Gupta told PTI.
