Ok after reading the article, I can say that the post owner has wrongly interpreted it. In the article it clearly mentions that DTH players and MSOs are objecting the price hike. As per the article the broadcasters as per TRAI can increase their base tariffs. Which if followed will certainly impact the overall pricing of the packs offered by both DTH and cable operators. So the gist of the matter is broadcasters i.e star, zee, sony etc etc can hike the channel base prices and if it happens then not only DTH but cable operators too will increase the price.
