TRAI extends date to choose channels for TV viewers till March 31
The Telecom Regulatory Authority has extended the deadline tfor the users to choose TV channels as per their requirement to March 31, 2019. Earlier, the deadline had expired at Janary 31, causing blackouts of piad channels in millions on houses since February 1.
As per the new tariff regime, viewers can pick and choose the channels they wish to watch and pay for only those selected channels, rather than the earlier system of paying for a bundle of channels that were being pushed to viewers at a fixed rate.
The new pricing policy is aimed at bringing in transparency and empowering the audience who were earlier offered packs by DTH and cable operators without much choice.
