In my guess, after reading carefully, the 19Rs channels will not get any price cut and they won't be included in bouquet. People who need HD channels will have to choose only 19 Rs channels. The other channels will get price hike. So the overall subscription being paid now will not come down. The only relief will be from NCF that too only for multi tv. The NCF for single connection will not come down as Rs 130 is not reduced. So as usual TRAI messing the issue. Unless price is capped for individual channels, nothing will get changed. I will not surprised if the subscription gets higher.

Last sentence should be underlined

their curated packs have mix of pay & FTA channels. So can't say how many channels you can add w/o paying extra NCF.

SUN has fixed NCF of 130+GST irrespective of pack or no: of channels currently.

TRAI serves for corporate needs, Jio have Hathway, Den & GTPL and Airtel have Airtel digital and Dish & D2H in future. So, never expect reduction in NCF at anytime, they required ARPU Rs.150+ always. Now broadcaster have bother, service providers are in secure.

Wrong.
Broadcasters are the ones minting money now.
All their 1-5rs channels previously now cost 19rs.

Service providers were charged Rs.80/- for DTH and Rs.50/- or lower as NCF for MSO/cable in previous regime.

 

[satyajeet]

count the channel's price available in the Curated Pack,
e.g. Sun DPO 1 BN costs 198, now if we count the price of the channels (bouquet & a-la-carte) which are available in that pack, then you can find out the NCF is around 80rs.

SUN has fixed NCF of 130+GST irrespective of pack or no: of channels currently.

Curated packs have NCF around 80rs, so i assume that it will remain 80 even if i add any no. of channels. Right?

How did you know the NCF charges in the previous regime? There was no such declaration from the DPOs!

I accidentally accessed some documents. It was ₹50 for MSO.

Also LCO demanded ₹100 while protesting for NTO. And the cable charges were ₹200 for SD and ₹250 for HD. Imagine the discounts broadcasters' gave to them in old regime. So cable users were more than happy paying for everything.
