Section 11 in Telecommunication (Broadcasting and Cable) Services (Eighth) (Addressable Systems) Tariff Order, 2017
11. While finalsing the tariff framework, the Authority noted that in the broadcasting service relating to television value chain, there are three main stakeholder-broadcasters, distributors of television channels including LCOs and subscribers/viewers. Broadcasters provide channels. Distributors of television channels including LCOs establish their networks for distributing TV signals obtained from broadcasters to their subscribers/viewers. Subscribers pay price for the TV services they get from distributors of television channels. Broadcasters tend to recover the price of their channels; distributors of television channels tend to recover the capital and operational expenditure on their networks and subscribers/viewers look for uninterrupted service, good quality of channels, affordable pricing and adequate choice in a transparent manner.
