Discussion TRAI announced important changes in the Tariff Order

[vrishraj]

It is good that TRAI has mandated that the number of bouquets offered by the broadcasters cannot be more than the number of channels they provide.

The number of bouquets offered by Star is ridiculous. It is somewhere around 220.

Now no bouquets include sports channels since they all cross rs 12 requirements

What TRAI will do if there is no bouquets and only alacarte?

Now the Sportschannels price will come down to 12

There is no compulsion to make bouquet if they make bouquets then they should follow the guidelines otherwise just Ala carte

Now thep Sportschannels price will come down to 12

Not necessarily, if they want to add under bouquets then its a must

Some DPOs like Arasu have cut the NCF to just Rs. 35 for it's curated pack and Rs. 120 for customer selected packs.

Best option to reduce NCF is, first take their curated pack which contains FTA and Pay channel and then add rest of the channels from ala carte and bouquets... Here in SITI cable also, you had to pay more if you don't take curated pack which is giving discount on NCF.

But no one talking about Carriage Fees for broadcasters. Which is now maximum 4 lakh per month..

Points that were missed in the initial post and discussion, but later added.

1. MRP of a channel should not be more than the MRP of any bouquet containing that channel in order to bring further reasonableness in the bouquet formation and pricing.
2. Number of bouquets of pay channels not to be more than number of pay channels offered by a broadcaster.

@Siva bro if possible can you give us example of sun network pack for Tamil?

What exactly are you looking for bro? It would be good if you provide the current pack details that we need to analyze!

No you have to take it from ala carte or curated pack.. not from bouquet.
