India's Trai lifts cap on network capacity fees, allows 45% discounts on channel bundles, and unifies HD/SD carriage fees.
India's telecom regulator Trai has introduced amendments to the regulatory framework for broadcasting and cable services, including lifting the cap on network capacity fees and allowing distribution platform operators (DPOs) to offer discounts of up to 45% on channel bundles. The distinction between HD and SD channels has been removed for the purpose of carriage fee, with a single ceiling for carriage fee prescribed. These measures are expected to simplify offerings for consumers and promote the availability of high-quality channels.
