How? Do you have any calculations for that. Because then operators will increase the package price.

Leading television broadcaster Star India is expected to furnish its Reference Interconnection Offer (RIO) on its website following the dismissal of its stay plea in the Madras High Court on April 28. Though the deadline of May 2 set by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has passed, quite a few broadcasters, including Star, have not complied with the ruling. “We will upload our RIO shortly,” said a highly placed source at Star, while refraining from confirming whether the broadcaster had sought additional time from TRAI to abide by the regulations.
Incidentally, a report claimed that Star wrote to TRAI on May 2, asking for 10 additional days to publish their RIO which will have the rates of its various channels. If the same is true, then it could be an attempt on the part of the broadcaster to buy crucial time before its plea for stay comes up for hearing in the Supreme Court. An apex court bench, led by Chief Justice of India JS Khehar, refused to entertain Star’s plea for an early hearing in the matter on May 1, a day before the tariff order and interconnect regulations were to be enforced.
While the main petition challenging the constitutionality of the tariff order will be given the final hearing before the Madras HC on June 12, broadcasters opposed to the tariff order would be hoping for some reprieve from the Supreme Court. However, if one is to go by the order of the Madras HC pronounced last week, then there is a clear split within broadcasters as far as their stance towards TRAI’s regulations are concerned. The division bench of the Madras HC, comprising Chief Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice M Sundar, noted that “many broadcasters”, who were under the wing of the Indian Broadcasting Foundation, are now in favour of the regulations.
TRAI tariff order implementation in limbo though Star indicates publishing RIO
