Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has extended the deadline set for Multi System Operators for the collection of consumer application forms to November 15. This was done for form collection in 38 cities that have gone digital in the second phase of digitisation. In a statement, it said that in its review meeting it found that there was still “substantial pendency” on this account.

“This is being done to achieve full coverage by November 15, 2013, and with a view to minimise consumer inconvenience that could result from MSOs disconnecting set-top boxes immediately,” it added.
