Sector regulator Trai Friday has been told by its players that almost all cable TV consumers have either chose their channel preferences or had moved to \u2018best fit plan\u2019 under the new tariff regime. Trai met with distribution platform owners (DPOs) on Friday as well as multi-system operators (MSO) and all major DTH players, to review the progress of migration of TV viewers under the new framework.<\/p>\n

Trai Secretary S K Gupta told PTI that as per the inputs received by the regulator from players, in the case of DTH services, about 43 per cent customers have made their channel preferences known. Trai has prodded players to keep the customer’s\u00a0 inconvenience during the migration process at the minimal. \u201cWhen combined with statistics for \u2018best fit plan\u2019, this number rises to 57 per cent,\u201d Gupta said. Friday\u2019s meeting was attended by all major DTH companies, including Tata Sky and Airtel, as reported by Financial Express.<\/div>\n

Gupta also said that the authority has reviewed the progress of the switch with all large DPOs. As per inputs provided by DPOs, near 100 per cent consumers of cable TV homes have migrated to the new framework either based on options of preference or as per \u2018best fit plan\u2019. Among DTH service homes, over 43 per cent consumers have already been migrated.<\/p>\n

The DTH service providers have submitted to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), which is also the regulator for broadcasting, that all subscribers of this pre-paid platform will be migrated to new framework in the next 2-3 weeks. Trai have insisted players that customer’s inconvenience during the migration process should be kept minimal. \u201cTrai is urging subscribers to exercise their options to select TV channels of their choice, immediately.<\/p>\n

DPOs have been instructed to execute the options of subscribers at the earliest,\u201d he said. Early in this month, the regulator had extended the timeline for consumers to make their channel preferences till March 31, 2019. At the same time, Trai had asked all DPOs to create \u2018best fit plan\u2019 for its subscribers who have not exercised their options yet.<\/p>\n

The \u2018best fit plan\u2019 shall be tweaked on the basis of consumers\u2019 usage pattern, language spoken and popularity of channels, Trai had said. The regulator had said that subscribers will be free to change their best fit plan at any date and time on or before March 31, 2019 and the DPO will change their best fit plan into a desired pack (opted by the consumer) within 72 hours of subscribers making their channel preferences known.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
