The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has issued new tariff orders to make available Set Top Boxes and other equipment for digital TV at reasonable prices.
Trai said that the objective of these tariff orders prescribing standard tariff package for STBs for Digital Cable TV and CPE for Direct to Home (DTH) services is to ensure effective commercial inter-operability.
Tariff orders have been devised to make available STBs and CPEs, which are needed to receive TV signals for cable and DTH TV services, at reasonable prices as well as to take care of the interests of the service providers, Trai said.
As per the new tariff orders, Cable TV operators and DTH service providers can provide different STBs and CPE to consumers with varying rental and security deposit plans.
