NEW DELHI: The Telecom Regulatory of India (Trai) has worked out the representative operational figures of various stakeholders in the value chain for use in tariff fixation. This follows the Supreme Court directive asking the sector regulator to examine de novo the matter relating to tariff for Cable TV services in non-Cas areas.
 
Trai has asked all stakeholders to compare these representative operational figures in respect of their respective companies/enterprises and submit objections if any by 18 November, duly supported by full data in the format already prescribed by the Authority.

If no objections are received, the Authority will presume that the stakeholders are in agreement with the figures derived by the Authority. 
 
Following the Court order of 13 May, Trai had earlier this year sought information in prescribed formats from various stakeholders such as Broadcasters, Aggregators (i.e. authorized distributors of the Broadcasters), DTH Operators, Multi System Operators, Cable Operators and Consumer Advocacy Groups to obtain a realistic understanding of the financials and the operation of various stakeholders.
