Confusion prevails over TRAI’s new DTH channel guidelines

There are now only two days left in the new TRAI rule to be implemented. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has recently issued instructions, after which the Broadcast Sector has to give its customer the option to select the channel and pay accordingly. After TRAI’s order the news was coming that the service of already subscribed channels could be interrupted. Although TRAI has denied it and given clearance in the whole matter, confusion still prevails in the minds of the consumers.

It has been said in the report released by TRAI that “we want to make it clear that due to the new rule there will be no obstruction to TV broadcasting service.”

However, its impact will depend on your pocket, it will depend on your cable operators and DTH service providers. At present, DTH service providers are also engaged in making their packages based on new prices. So far, they are providing information on new packs to consumers through DTH service providers websites and their channels.

Although the time is short, and the first question in the mind of the common consumer is, what will happen after December 29, will the same packs be issued, or will they provide new packs of DTH service providers? There is still confusion about their prices.
