All this is done to give benefit to Jio fiber.
Jio would charge for broadband only. Voice is already free, access fees would also be free.
So all FTA channels free on Jio ftth, only pay for paid channels+gst as you like.
DTH and cable tv providers would be hit the most(as jio wanted) as their profit would be limited to Rs.130(for 100channels)+20% commission on pay tv channels. This would limit their ability to provide subsidy on dth equipment and customer care(like tata sky).
Broadcaster would lose over the time(as jio wanted) as less people would subscribe if interesting thing is not there, they would be par with ott players.
So basically a way to cripple dth/cable profits + make broadcaster to move to fta in long term.
This move by TRAI favours bundle service providers like Jio.
Bad thing in this is why to keep margin of service provider fixed @ 20%. Let them decide. Yes keep channel price for customer fixed.
I think it would also mean all paid channels on jio tv app would end by dec 29th.
