DDF Exclusive All India FTA Pack Launched

[goodlord]

What is really happening is that companies like Star, Zee etc are trying to be oversmart by charging very high for their popular channels.

This has screwed the DTH and cable operators. They can no longer continue with their existing packs, and don't know what to do.

Here's the relevant section from the tariff order:

(7) Within the distribution network capacity subscribed, in addition to channels notified by Central Government to be mandatorily provided to all the subscribers, a subscriber shall be free to choose any free-to-air channel(s), pay channel(s), or bouquet(s) of channels offered by the broadcaster(s) or bouquet(s) of channels offered by distributors of television channels or a combination thereof:

• Provided that if a subscriber opts for pay channels or bouquet of pay channels, he shall be liable to pay an amount equal to sum of distributor retail price(s) for such channel(s) and bouquets in addition to network capacity fee.

Point number 2 is huge one, if this is really like this then it will be super but I doubt like this. so pls first check carefully. Though I hope u are right>>>

That said, many users may not be aware of the above rule, and will end up simply subscribing to the default pack that Airtel puts them on. Eventually, people will figure it out. I think usually, a family will need only around 150 channels for complete entertainment. Junk channels will get dropped by more and more people as they figure out how to tweak their base pack for maximum entertainment.

Gradually all groups will convert their FTA into Pay channels & only teleshopping, baba bhakti channels will be FTA.

So basically 130 is Trai tax(Saheb tax).

Jumla baba tax

No need all F TAchannels which include religious and not good channels.then for why want to Pay for those wn wanted ??

 

[goodlord]

It's not correct.
The Rs 130 price is an upper limit, not a mandatory price.
In other words, if Tata Sky wants to continue to continue its starting package at Rs 99, it is free to do so. The only thing TRAI says is don't charge more than 130.

So, basically my plan 99 price increased to 153 with removal of good channels.
@Arsh bro please provide the channel list, if possible.
