NEW DELHI: The telecom regulator has started a consultation process to take a relook at the business scope of infrastructure providers in the country and encourage active infrastructure sharing at a time when telecom operators are battling shrinking revenue streams and looking at cost-cutting measures.

It appears that DTH service providers are making hay under the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)’s new tariff regime. Fully implemented on March 31, 2019, the order entails that customers migrate to the new tariff packs, a move aimed at giving them the freedom of choice to pay only for what they watch.

Telecom regulator Trai on Monday recommended to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting that there is no need for fixing a minimum net worth for registration of multiple-system operators in cable TV service. The Cable Television Network Rules, 1994, prescribe the criteria for grant of registration to an multiple-system operators (MSO), which provides cable TV services to its subscribers.

In a setback to incumbent mobile operators, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has rejected the government's demand of a re-look at lowering of the reserve price of spectrum, especially 5G.

In its letter to DoT on Monday, Trai said the department has misconstrued this quote -- "Due to competition, concerns have been expressed about the financial health of the sector, its revenue growth and the capability of companies to meet contractual commitments" as Trai recommendation.

The Digital Communications Commission, the highest decision-making body in the telecom sector, on Thursday asked the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) to review its recommendations on 5G spectrum sale, scheduled to take place in the calendar year to auction 8,644 MHz of airwaves, and make available a higher amount of spectrum, besides approving the rollout of airwaves for 5G trials in 100 days.

The new tariff regime by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) saw broadcasters such as Zee Entertainment Enterprises (ZEEL), Star India, Viacom18 and Sony Pictures Network withdraw their free-to-air (FTA) channels from Doordarshan’s FreeDish platform. Hitherto, these channels enjoyed substantial viewership on the platform. But this has led to other lesser-known channels coming into the limelight.
