Post TRAI recommendations on satellite radio policy norms soon
Quote:
June 3 The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is expected to give its recommendations on the satellite radio policy guidelines in the next two days. The regulator is likely to keep broadly with its suggestion expressed in the draft policy, which included doubling the entry fee to Rs 5 crore. Currently, there is only one player in the sector — Word Space, the subscription-based radio operator. The service uses a satellite system, providing encrypted digital radio signals directly to subscribers’ receiver sets. Two types of licences are being envisaged by the draft policy — one for the service provider (for carriage and broadcasting of channels) and the other for the radio channels (content providers).

Govt accepts TRAI recommendations on draft radio policy
Quote:
he draft radio policy that permits a satellite radio service provider to hold the permission of satellite radio channels also, received a boost as the Ministry for Information and Broadcasting has accepted the final recommendations by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India on it, with some modifications. Among its various recommendations submitted to the Ministry, TRAI has found acceptable the government's proposal in the draft policy on restrictions on news and advertisements in satellite radio service.
Satellite radio service refers to distribution of single or multi channel radio programmes by using a satellite system which provides encrypted digital radio signals direct to the subscribers' receiver sets.
The Ministry had earlier requested TRAI on March 11 to give its comments on the draft policy guidelines.
