The government is not going to extend the deadline for digital addressable system (DAS) in Phase III areas. The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB) has issued letters to broadcasters directing them not to supply signals to all those multi-system operators (MSOs) who do not have registrations and are not transmitting digitally encrypted signals in DAS Phase III areas after the 31 December deadline.

It further stated that under Policy Guidelines for Downlinking of Channels it is obligatory for broadcasters to stop providing signals to unregistered MSOs and local cable operators (LCOs).
