The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) today informed the Supreme Court it planned to cap the monthly subscription charges for cable TV services at Rs 250 across the country, except for pockets where the conditional access system is implemented.
The charges would entail the subscriber to a basic package with over 20 pay channels.
In an affidavit filed before the apex court, the broadcast regulator further said that the monthly bill for the basic package, which includes all Doordarshan channels and up to 20 pay channels, had been set at Rs 200.
