NEW DELHI: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) today issued its consultation paper for reviewing foreign direct investment (FDI) caps in different segments of the broadcasting sector.
The sector regulator has sought stakeholders' suggestions on the series of FDI caps proposed by the government, which includes 74 per cent for teleport, direct-to-home (DTH) and Hendend-In-The-Sky (HITS) but 49 per cent for cable TV networks.
Trai lists the primary issues for consultation as follows:
* Whether the foreign investment limits need to be revised as proposed
