TRAI proposes uniform Inter-Connection Norms

In a move to check arm-twisting practices and bring in more transparency in broadcasting business, regulator Trai today proposed uniform inter-connection guidelines for transmission of TV channels across all available platforms like cable, DTH and IPTV. 
●    At present, two separate regulatory frameworks are applicable for inter-connection of HITS, IPTV and DTH, and cable TV services.
●    HITS is a satellite multiplex service that provides cable channels. 
●    In the broadcast sector, there are a number of intermediaries between a broadcaster and the end consumer. 
●    The broadcast takes the route of distribution network and reaches viewers either through DTH, cable operator or an IPTV.
●    According to Trai, transparency and non-discrimination at various levels of broadcast distribution chain will lead to healthy competition in the sector.
