Indiantelevision.com: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) now plans to “revisit” its consultation paper on IPTV following the opposition from the broadcasters. Trai had suggested that IPTV and Cable TV were two separate services and so the former would not fall within the ambit of the proposed broadcast bill. But this was opposed by most broadcasters.
Trai chairman Nripendra Misra said that they had sought the opinion of stakeholders on the legal changes which might be required, either in the Indian Telegraph Act or the Cable TV Act with respect to IPTV. But this would in no way affect the scheduled rollout of IPTV, he said.
