TRAI gets SC nod on new tariffs for TV channels
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday gave the green signal to Telecome Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to work out a fresh tariff regime that would determine how much a consumer paid for watching TV channels. And it would work this out without being caged by the stinging observations of the Telecom Disputes Settlement Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT), which had directed TRAI to study the matter afresh and issue a comprehensive order covering all aspects including the issue of subscription base.
While TRAI counsel senior advocate Harish Salve agreed to look into the matter without being bound by the TDSAT directive for reworking the amount to be levied from consumers, it was senior advocate Fali S Nariman who forcefully argued that TRAI should also look into the grievance of broacasters.
Nariman said while TRAI had capped the tariff to be levied from consumers for watching TV channels, the broadcasters were made to cough up astronomical amounts to cable operators and MSOs to carry the channels to the homes. He said the amount has gone up from Rs 6 crore in 2004 to Rs 33 crore at present.A Bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justices P Sathasivam and J M Panchal brushed aside the objection of senior advocate C S Vaidyananthan, appearing for the MSOs, that the issue of capping the carrier charges was not the subject matter in the appeal.
It said: “TRAI shall also consider the feasibility of putting cap on subscription charges to the broadcasters and any other allied aspects in this regard.” “The TRAI may also consider the matter de novo as regards all other relevant aspects and give a report to this court by August 11, 2009,” the Bench said.
TRAI had filed the appeal in the SC alleging that TDSAT’s decision to strike down its tariff regulations has put the people at the mercy of broadcasters who generally club a good channel with a number of not so good channels and offer them as a bouquet with a ‘take all or none’ condition.

BIG TV has surely improved their customer service duration to such a short that their technicians are literally running around to solve complaints rapidly.Yesterday, my STB restarted twice automatically while i was watching IPL. I made a complaint at night 7.30 and i thought someone will come tomorrow morning but surprisingly that guy came the same day at 8.45pm and gave me a new STB.Woooooo.. are we talking about ADAG?? wow.If they do the same for next few years and improve their hardware and other services then they must rock and give a good competition to others.
