Good News TRAI wins the tariff order case against Star in Supreme Court

[RdX]

Star Value Kannada Pack Rs 30
Value Pack kannada Promo

It's getting really confusing now if Rs 130 pack can include Pay channels or not as what @goodlord is saying that one can choose other pay channels also.

 

[Sarkar]

Clause 5 explanation says

However, the subscriber, as per his requirement, shall have
complete freedom to choose either bouquet of basic service tier or any other bouquet of pay
channels or any other bouquet of free-to-air channels or a-la-carte pay channels or a-la-carte
free-to-air channels available on the platform of the distributor of television channels or a
combination thereof

So Dpo can definitely form basepack with only pay chs without FTA chs. No need to subscribe 100 FTA chs if someone don't want

I really wish existing LDP packs are allowed to be continued. For those who have already subscribed to it.

So lets suppose someone subscribe pay only chs as base pack. so He will then have two option. Pay RS 20+tax and subscribe 25 FTA bouquet containing those chs or subscribe a la carte
