Cable network operators are required to file
details of their customers and their choice of
television channels with the telecom and
broadcast regulator by 25 June. New Delhi: Nearly 40% of the cable television subscribers in Delhi and Mumbai may face a
blackout after Tuesday for not having filed
consumer application forms (CAF) with the
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai). Multi-system operators (MSO), which are large
cable network operators, are required to file
details of their customers and their choice of
television channels with the telecom and
broadcast regulator by 25 June, according to the
rules governing the digital addressable system, or DAS. The system was created for digitizing television
feeds across the country by 2014. Trai set the deadline for cable companies to
submit their know your customer forms on 7
June. On 21 June, it reiterated that it was firm on
the deadline. Source Viewers face cable TV blackout as operators miss Trai deadline - Livemint
