Breaking IBF Moves SC Against Bombay HC Verdict on NTO 2.0

[Slu]

“It essentially means the court has said they see merit in entertaining our appeal but has not granted us relief in case Trai takes coercive action to force us to migrate from the 2017 to the 2020 NTO regime," said Abhishek Malhotra, managing partner, TMT Law Practice that is representing the broadcasters. The order has thrown broadcasters, who were hoping for interim relief, in a limbo and they are evaluating what to do next, Malhotra added.

Media experts, however, point out that the order, in a way, paves the way for NTO 2.0 to come into force

Supreme Court asks TRAI to file reply in NTO 2.0 matter, no interim relief for broadcasters

The apex court has admitted the special leave petitions (SLPs) filed by the broadcasters and their lobby group Indian Broadcasting & Digital Foundation (IBDF), which challenged the Bombay high court order of June 30, wherein the high court had upheld NTO 2.0.

Neither Courts nor Trai can force broadcasters to decide on pricing, it's the consumer who can do so.... Which indeed is not expected.... So overall they will go like they want....

SC refuses interim stay on Bombay HC judgment upholding the validity of TRAI's New Tariff order (NTO 2.0) which capped the price of bouquet channels on television. It posted the matter for further hearing on September 7.
TRAI said the decision to cap the price of channel bouquets was taken in the public interest and stop the channels from exploiting millions of TV viewers. The Union government supported TRAI. SC said it will consider the issue of grant of interim relief on Sept 7.

DPOs cannot club Broadcaster packs since Broadcasters are permitted 33% discount of total alacarte price whereas DPO 15%. @dino29 @Stvnn

There must b some diff context to 15% discount else what will b use of DPO packs. 15% discount might b applicable on combined discount of bouquets in addition to 33 percent given by broadcasters or 15% discount might apply to combined standalone chs in DPO bouquet
