Discussion TRAI announced important changes in the Tariff Order

[IamTRoy4]

Trai has not stopped from giving discount on NCF.

If other operators would also follow what Sun & D2h are doing (giving popular channels under ₹200/m) then everyone would be HAPPY!

So a DTH operator will run only 20-30 FTA channels? Whether customer choses 2 channel or 200 channels, cost for DPO remains same. NCF can vary from 50 rs to 160 as per wish of DPO. Trai has not stopped from giving discount on NCF. Local MSOs can offer more discount on NCF as they need to carry less FTA channels compared to DTH.

I think AIDCF or Sun direct might reduce NCF soon.

First I will see new bouquets and ala carte prices then I will vote.

Who runs MSO for just 20 or 30 connections with latest technology? He might shows 2000 connections as 20 or 30 without proper technology. Most of the people depends on DTH in remote areas.

TRAI is an authority for every stakeholder involved. They don't make rules only for DTH. Since there are such MSOs operating in difficult areas, they have set the base NCF at Rs. 130, to provide them a fair revenue!

Can you share pack details/links. What channels are offered in 200. I dont think popular channels will come except one or two. What is their NCF ?

There is option to change vote anytime . You are not alone...

Before Tariff order, NCF or basic pack was Rs 99 includes some low cost pay channels. but now Rs 153 so, 50% hike, but expenses and taxes increased just little more. TRAI should consider these and fix reasonable basic NCF is good for consumers.

Did you forget about the MANDATORY minimum 70rs SD add-on along with the 99rs base pack?

 

[satyajeet]

Two types of people are unhappy.
1. Those who want all channels in less price (even if they don't watch all, & still dnt wanna pay 160rs) & thinking alacarte/bouquets price may increase.
2. Those who watch 4-5 channels, so nw dont wanna pay more than 100. (Old regime gave sh#t channels in 150 rs pack)

How to report LCOs who are not following the TRAI (existing) rule? I know of many people who are being given extremely good packages by committing for 1 year (advance payment) but it certainly does not follow the TRAI rules.
