MIB extends MSO registration deadline in Phase 3 areas
The deadline for the application of multi system operator (MSO) registration in Phase 3 areas has been pushed forward to February 6, 2015.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcast (MIB) has recently extended the deadline for the application of multi system operator (MSO) registration in Phase 3 areas to February 6, 2015.
The reason for this is the security clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs which takes about 3 to 4 months, and is a prerequisite for the issue of permanent registrations. In order to give sufficient time to applicants of MSO registrations for operation in Phase 3 areas, the cut-off date has been extended. The earlier deadline for application for MSO registration for Phase 3 operations was December 21, 2014. This decision was taken after MIB received several requests to extend the cut-off date.
The MIB also stated that the digitization pending in urban areas not covered in Phases 1 & 2 is slated for completion by December 31, 2015.
