In its recommendations on Licensing Issues related to DTH, Trai has also recommended multiple dwelling unit technology for DTH and sought liberty in certain rules relating to licensing.
Meanwhile, Information and Broadcasting minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi told Parliament today that the rate of Rs 5 per channel set down by Trai for conditional access system (Cas) was fixed on various criteria and was not found to be exorbitant.
Dasmunsi said that this had been done on the basis of available data - the agreements between broadcasters and cable operators; the experience in Chennai where Cas has been implemented for the entire city; and prices made available by stakeholders during discussions before the introduction of Cas.
