No idea on what happened between 17th Dec to 2nd Jan.
Somehow deadline was extended to 31st Dec 2007.
\"We are putting up the rates on our websites,\" broadcasters officially said.
The rates were, however, not available on the websites till the filing of this report.
The Trai has not put up these rates on its own website.
...
Trai senior officials had said in the third week of December last year that some of the broadcasters had given their rates, and they would be put up on the Trai website within the week, but that has not happened.
Still no news on website.
