CTMA plans for regulatory body

Our Bureau

KOLKATA, Jan. 28

THE Cable TV Equipment Traders & Manufacturers' Association (CTMA) has suggested the setting up of a regulatory body that would lay down guidelines for the cable television industry in India.

According to Mr Sanjay Mansukhani, Secretary of CTMA, the need of the hour is to set up a regulatory authority on the lines of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India to determine fixed cable and pay channel tariffs and delve into issues that are of growing importance to the cable TV industry.

Mr Mansukhani told a news conference held here on Monday that cable operators were hesitant to invest in upgradation programmes in the absence of specified laws and regulations governing the industry. The Convergence Bill would, hopefully, address some of the concerns of the cable TV industry whose network had encompassed 3.6-crore households across the country.
