Now only they i.e Trai is discussing issue i would take some time may be a year before they should decide on it. But being a regulator they should have thought about it before they introduced DTH services

Interesting article. To me it highlights yet again the completely confused and anarchic scenario of DTH services. I also think it is so typically TRAI to only be reactive and not proactive. In India, all carriers operate in a highly regulated space so I think there is a good chance TRAI will push through some regulations. I think the ones that really make sense are 1) Pay only for channels you want to watch and make your own package. Till then we are at the mercy of cable operators2) Carriers should not be denied access to any channels. Otherwise it will become a monopolistic system that will not benefit us as consumers. Look at the woes of Tata Sky customers deprived of Sun!3) Set Top Box and dish should be 'unlocked' allowing freedom to migrate from one carrier to another. If these at least are implemented, I think that the DTH market can really explode and become a viable option to cable on its own terms. Till then, it is only the last refuge of people fed up with the cable wallah.
