New Delhi: Government of India has proposed to remove jail terms for violating Cable TV Networks Regulation Act, in a move to decriminalize smaller offenses such as technical or financial in nature.

The move to decriminalize offenses of a technical and financial nature was raised by the Confederation of Indian Industry early in February this year. Following this, Finance Minister NirmalaSitharaman announced the decriminalization of offenses under the Companies Act in the budget presented in the same month.

Presently, the violation of the cable TV Act can result in jail terms of up to two years for the first offense, and up to five years for repeat offenders, the law applies as much to channel owners as it does to signal distributors like cable and DTH operators.

In a bid to facilitate TV viewers to check their subscription and modify it, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has launched Channel Selector App. But close to a month after the launch, MSO bodies across the country say not even 1% of users are on the app. Why? Half the customers do not know about the app and the rest complain of technical failure while downloading the app.
According to experts, the fact that the app is currently available only for some major DTH operators and Multi-System Operators (MSO/cable operators) makes it difficult in terms of accessibility.
“We were not notified about the app. If we don’t know about it, we are not in a position to get the customers acclimatize to the app. Ideally, for any such new developments that concern the MSOs, there should be a meeting to help us understand what the new product is all about, only then can we tell our customers about it. This is just another set of confusion added to already confusing NTO 2.0 rules and regulations,” said Roop Sharma, President, Cable Operators Federation of India.
