Broadcasting sector regulator TRAI has come out with a draft tariff order for non-addressable cable or analog TV systems and sought views from the public and the industry.
In the draft tariff order, TRAI has prescribed that broadcasters should mandatorily offer all their channels on a-la-carte basis though they are also free to offer bouquets.
It has also favoured the continuation of the existing mechanism to regulate wholesale tariff, in the draft order.
Revenue share between the operators should be decided based on mutual negotiations and operators are to provide consumers bills and receipts for payments for the subscribed cable TV services, as per the draft order.
In a statement released here, TRAI said the tariff order has been released in pursuance of Supreme Court order dated September 17, 2014.
TRAI has asked stakeholders to submit their written views or comments on the draft order by December 14, 2014.
