The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) issued the Telecommunication (Broadcasting and Cable) Services Register of Interconnection Agreements and all such other matters Regulations, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. The primary objective<\/strong> <\/span>of the register of Interconnect regulations is to formulate the contours of a reporting system for the service providers so that they can report details of interconnection agreements including commercial details to the Authority. It would enable the Authority to maintain a register of interconnect as per provisions of TRAI Act. Presently the Register of Interconnect Agreement (Broadcasting and Cable Services) Regulation, 2004 is in force.<\/p>\n

3. To simplify the process, avoid duplication of reports, and formulate its view on various issues such as accessibility of information of register, the Authority had issued a consultation paper on ‘The Register of Interconnection Agreements (Broadcasting and Cable Services) Regulations, 2016’ on 23 March 2016.<\/p>\n

4. Based on the comments received in the consultation process and analysis of the developments in the market pursuant to the implementation of the new regulatory framework, draft Telecommunication (Broadcasting and Cable) Services Register of Interconnection Agreements Regulations, 2019 was issued by TRAI on 22nd April 2019. Comments received on this draft regulation were posted on TRAI’s website. Subsequently, an Open House Discussion (OHD)was also held on 10th June 2019 in Delhi. Based on the comments received and analysis of the developments in the market pursuant to implementation of the
\nnew regulatory framework these regulations have been prepared.<\/p>\n

5. The objective of this regulation<\/span><\/strong> is to promote transparency and nondiscrimination in the Broadcasting sector. As per the new Regulation, all the Reference Interconnect Offer (RIO) are required to be filed by every broadcaster and the distributor of television channels. Initially, the distributor having average active subscriber base below one lakh have been exempted from the obligation of reporting details of interconnection agreements to promote ease of business and reducing the regulatory burden on such MSOs with limited resources. The new regulation envisages online filing in electronic mode. The Authority has specified that the new regulations will come in force in 120 days, except as regards submission of information related to Compliance officer. The intervening period will enable the service provider to prepare for easy compliance.<\/p>\n
