Do popular channels like Star Plus, Sony etc have to pay this Carriage Fees to dth/ cable?
 
Industry sources have informed that a meeting was held recently between broadcasters, TRAI and Multi System Operators (MSOs) to discuss carriage fees and channel packages. At the meeting, TRAI suggested that broadcasters sign an agreement with the operators to share the offer of channel packages and carriage fees. The regulatory body suggested that a carriage fee of Rs 3-5 be set per set top box (STB) per annum. The deadline for an agreement between MSOs and broadcasters in this regard is December 21, 2012
Carriage fee, which broadcasters pay to MSOs and Local Cable Operators (LCOs) for taking their channels to the viewers, has been a bone of contention and has pitted broadcasters against MSOs and LCOs. It may be recalled that in October this year, broadcasters had entered into an agreement with MSOs that the carriage fee would range from 50 paise to Re 1 per set top box subscriber per channel per year. The agreement was for an initial period of one year and included marketing fees and packaging fees.

TRAI steps in to fix carriage fee @Rs 3-5 per STB per year
