not to increase monthly bill.
Telecom Regulatory Authority
of India (TRAI) said that DTH and cable operators can not charge more than
their usual monthly bill under 'Best Fit Plan' from any customer. The regulator
also warned that action would be taken if any kind of complaint was received.
TRAI secretary SK Gupta said, "TRAI has given clear instructions to the
distributor platform operators (DPO) that they can not take more funds from
consumers than their current plans under the most suitable scheme." Gupta said
that TRAI is looking at the situation equally. If consumers complain, then they
will be taken action.
The last date for choosing
channels is increased to 31 March
He said, "TRAI has
asked the DPO to present the most suitable scheme to those customers who have not
yet chosen the channels themselves. This has been done to protect the interests
of consumers and to avoid any inconvenience. The regulator has extended the
last date for the selection of channels till March 31, 2019. TRAI said that the
most suitable scheme should be designed based on the methods and language used
by consumers.
Broadcasters will have to
pay new rates
Cable and DTH service
providers (DPOs) have to pay the broadcasters according to the new rates from
this month. The Indian Broadcasting Foundation has said this. Earlier, the
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) had said that only 35 per cent
consumers using cable services and those using DTH services have adopted new
rates.
