Dealing with ISRO for transponders is a nightmare, says TRAI chairman Khullar

[Deepu]

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) chairman Rahul Khullar is an angry man. He speaks against the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) style of functioning, urges for the formulation of a national media policy and bats for cross-media restrictions.
Noting that getting transponders from ISRO is a nightmare, Khullar said that government must take decisive steps on infrastructure for the broadcast sector to clear hurdles that impede growth.
“What a nightmare it is to deal with an office in Bangalore to try and get transponders in place! I have tried my best in beating my head against that wall. It’s like a Catch-22 situation. I will not give you a transponder and I will not let you get a transponder on your own,” Khullar said while speaking at CII Big Picture Summit 2014.
Asserting that airwaves are not the monopoly of the state, Khullar said that there is a need for talk about infrastructure issues like the efficient use of spectrum for both direct-to-home (DTH) and telecom operators

What The Hell Are They Doing?

Why This Much Strict?

 

[Sanjeev]

So I think because of arrogant nature of ISRO tata sky is suffering for its tps

Looks like Khullar is saying what TATA(SKY wants him to say

Does he don't know how well ISRO is doing in Mars Mission we are just inch closer to conquered that and except crediting them he criticizing them

 

[harshbardhan]

Any missions be it Mars or handing over transponders to dths or telecom companies is in fact for people's interests at the end. So there shouldn't be dual policy. ISROs arrogance has given enough tension both to Tata Sky as well as its subscribers. A overhauling is the need of the hour.

People purchase TATA(SKY on their own risk and TATA(SKY is not the only DTH in the Country. Quality favorable people have to compromise with Quantity if TATA(SKY is so innocent then they should move to Court and sue ISRO for what they're waiting their sister group STAR SPORTS won't hesitate or think twice to go to TDSAT then why Mr. Nagpal is waiting for already lots of Congressi Lawyers are free nowhere days.

But do you think anything will happen if they sue ISRO in court ISRO will come out and clean chit will be given to ISRO by our beloved courts

Who said Court will give clean chit to ISRO if they found guilty, don't you know Govt. agencies also pay fine if they caught in wrong doing. If TATA(SKY having dare and they're innocent they should move to Court and prove ISRO wrong.

But I think both are not on the consent of moving to court and I think they have silently done some mutual understanding between them which is not yet leaked

ISRO having no problem Bro. TATA(SKY has. When the news pop up last year that TS will drag ISRO into a court then why they didn't proceed further, why TS only make headlines and nothing else they should do their job complete MPEG 4 Migration add channels and rest forget all tension if T(S really booked TPs of GSAT 10 they will automatically get TPs if Insat 4A stop working before its Mission Life.
