The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has recommended that all set top boxes (STBs) in the country must be interoperable, meaning that consumers should be able to use the same STB across different Direct-to-Home (DTH) or cable TV providers.
About:
It suggested that the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting make the required amendments in licensing and registration conditions to make interoperability mandatory.
The lack of interoperability affects improvement in service quality, TRAI observed.
It recommended that a coordination committee be set up by the I&B Ministry to steer implementation of revised STB standards for both the DTH and the cable TV segments.
The committee may maintain continuous oversight for setting up of the digital TV standards by BIS to provide for Digital Video Broadcasting Common Interface Plus (DVB CI+) 2.0 port based on ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) TS 103 605 standards.
