The Financial Express has a story on the ongoing dispute between cable TV / DTH operators and telecom majors over the classification of IPTV; i.e. should IPTV be categorised under the cable TV act or the Telegraph act?
Cable consortium MSO Alliance stated that if IPTV was kept outside the cable laws, cable operators could not upgrade their IPTV services to digital IPTV without unified licence.
The stakeholders urged Trai to amend the Act to include voice, video and data.
This was in reponse to a TRAI proposal that recommended IPTV not be treated as cable TV.
