Breaking NTO 2.0 partially upheld by Bombay HC

[Itsme...]

No ad model and early show concept (No ad means even if shows in both feed will start at same time, HD feed will be early because no ad time to waste) was there when these new HD channels were launched. I am talking about some time in 2015 when Sony HD was launched. They did not had many ads to show. That 8 PM show was used to over by 8:25. They used to air fillers for rest of time. Then next show will start at 8:30. Anyway ad free model can not be used in case of sports like cricket. Otherwise they will charge 50/100 for a channel.

I will tell you something it's not ₹30 of Viacom's bouquet that is causing burden on my bouquets. It's ₹153.40 that is causing. I don't see TRAI decreases the maximum price cap for DPOs while they are expecting broadcasters to decrease their maximum price. You said they earn from UI ads, home channels and teleshopping tha why do they still get to charge ₹153.40 and even more additional charges for extra slots.

What about small operators who have limited revenue from ads or carriage or svod....rules r for all it is upto bigger operators like airtel or tata sky to b generous and give discount on ncf. U r excusing broadcasters but i again say they r overcharging right now compared to earlier

Than what about smaller broadcasters who had to shut shop because customers paid so much for the stadium tickets which is NCF. He couldn't buy the samosa and ran the samosa stall inside the stadium and had to close it's business.

100000% true 90% of FTA channel I don't watch . Especially Urdu or Hindi why are they forcing on us. ₹153 is not less. They should put cap for carriage fee at least decrease it to ₹60 ( including GST )

NCF nothing to do with complimentary fta bouquet....ncf is maintenance charges paid to operators....also FYI TRAI has given customers freedom to not opt for FTA complimentary bundle pack

This is why I m saying there is lot of misinformation among general public leading to unwarranted outcry towards TRAI

U know how much carriage fee has reduced compared to earlier system and smaller channels faced small hiccups bcoz of reach issue initially as customers were confused about ch activation and ad revenue reduced but now all is well....support them by opting for FTA complimentary pack

Yes, they were but break up was unavailable to u. If say out of Rs. 220 , Rs. 120 was ch cost being paid to broadcasters then 100 was going to operator and this profit margin was low for smaller operators be it cable or dth as their content agreement cost with broadcasters was high and hence uneven scenario i have been pointing all the way
