MUMBAI: TV broadcasters have suggested that the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) should put a cap on the number of platform services (PS) channels offered by direct to home (DTH) operators.
In its submission on the consultation paper ‘Platform services offered by DTH operators’, Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) has submitted that the cap on the number of PS channels can be 1-2% of the total capacity declared by the DTH Operator.
Further, DTH Operators should ensure that they would retransmit the signals of channels of all the broadcasters on their platform and should not provide bandwidth constraint reasons for TV Channels of broadcasters due to the existence of more PS channels.

more Broadcasters should also support them .. we need all Broadcasters Channels in our DTHs platform. Better Dpos remove their Home/In-house service Channels to accommodate all Broadcasters Channels . Hope Trai make this rule from request made by Sony . Most 10 service Channels should carry by a DPOs.
