Discussion TRAI announced important changes in the Tariff Order

[RaviCSK]

Mostly Stat Sports1 SD & HD (English), Star Sports Select 1 SD & HD might not include in any boutiques.

My guess is that Star will reduce the price of all sports channels to 12. If they keep Star Sports 1 and Star Sports Select 1 out of the bouquets, then the subscription for their movie and entertainment channels might take a hit.

If they keep their prime Sports channels out of bouquets, then they can fix any price. Even 100 rs per month

The 19 Rs channels's price may come down to Rs 12. But there is every chance, the lower priced channels (1 Rs, 2Rs 3 Rs etc) may go up to Rs 12

This would probably make the broadcasters(the actual owners of channels) provide real, sensible discounts on their bundles/packs. For example, they could bundle star plus only when its channel price is equal to or less than 12, forcing them to reduce the price. If they continue to price them at 19, it is going to be a loss for the users in the sense that they need to go the ala carte way, which is expensive. Either way, it removes unnecessary, cheaply priced channels out of the packs containing premium channels.
Another important info is the thing about "long duration discounts":These would benefit the users in a significant way.

I dont think there is any change in the max price of any ala carte channel. It remains 19(if it is not part of any pack). It is clear that the broadcasters will not be able to make cheaper channels(for eg., ng wild) piggy back popular channels(like star plus, star maa, etc). I quote some of them: ".. new amendments will put the “business model” of smaller channels in “jeopardy”.

Sony has basic bouquet without sports channel. Can't find their sports channel's rating being impacted much while sports only bouquet is popular among sports lovers.

STAR has so many regional sports channels. It shall decrease these prices to Rs.12, otherwise no one take them as a la carte.

From my side, If we people r thinking new rules are made for us you are wrong. They removed 19 rs cap price. So they will increase their price of high rates channels and they will not include these channels to any of pack...
Let's see what happens...
They already messed up. So i don't think they will do anything good to people.
People are asking brodcaster find loop holes for new rules but i think they kept loop holes for benifits of brodcaster...
