TRAI Tariff order hearing expected today
After adjourning the hearing on September 11, the Supreme Court will now hear the matter in the first half of September 12
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (TRAI), tariff order and interconnection regulation matter has been adjourned to September 12. The matter will be taken up in the Supreme Court today.
Earlier, on 5 September, the court had deferred the matter to September 11. However, the Apex court adjourned the petition to September 12 as the matter could not come up for hearing post lunch on September 11.
On July 3, 2018, TRAI had implemented the Telecommunication (Broadcasting and Cable) Interconnection (Addressable Systems) Regulations 2017 after it was upheld by the Madras High Court with an exception. While bringing the order into effect on July 3, the TRAI had prescribed timelines for the stakeholders. The deadline for compliance was August 31, 2018.
Following the deadline, most of the major broadcasters have published their Reference Interconnect Offer (RIO) along with the Interconnection Agreement.
