Breaking Respite for Tata Sky, Airtel Digital TV, Discovery as TRAI assures no action till 30 Jan

[IndiaN]

Correct. TRAI can still go ahead implementing 15% rule, let DPO's seek clarification from SC but their is lack of intention on their part

Intentions doesn't matter ; only money matters

Meanwhile Tata Sky successfully withdraws the Transfer Petition it had filed in Supreme Court earlier this month.

The sum and substance of the Tata Sky’s appeal is that the TRAI tariff order and regulation violate Article 19 (1)(G) of the constitution which allows citizens “to practice any profession, or to carry on any occupation, trade or business”.
It has also been argued that the new regulatory framework treats un-equals as equals by prescribing the same monthly rentals and discounts for DTH operators and multi system operators (MSOs).
Tata Sky is also against the regulation of carriage fee and must carry clause. The new regime will seriously impede their right to do mutually negotiated agreement, the DTH operator has argued.

Nowadays, it doesnt look reasonable to pay anything more than 300 for a cable connection when you have hundreds of channels which could be watched online. We watch much lesser tv these days(especially for those working). The DTH/Cable prices should actually decrease, but in most cases, it is going to go up by a huge margin.
