Chennai:
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India on Wednesday
expressed concern over tardy implementation of Digital addressable Cable TV
systems in Chennai.
TRAI has directed the multi-system operators to take immediate
steps to ensure that only digital and encrypted signals are transmitted in
their network and duly filled in consumer application form (CAF) are collected
from the subscriber and complete details of CAF including choice of channels
are entered into the subscriber management system.
The authority would closely monitor the progress in this
regard and would take all possible actions, including penal action as per the
TRAI Act to ensure compliance of regulatory framework.
In a statement, it warned the cable TV subscribers that
analog cable TV signal is illegal in Chennai and they should ensure that they receive
TV connection from cable TV operator supplying DAS signale else the cable TV
connection may be switched off.
“The Cable TV subscribers are requested to complete and
submit completed consumer application form to respective cable operator or MSO
at the earliest to enjoy full benefits of digitisation.
“IF they fail, MSOs will have no option but to switch off
the signal to those consumers who have not submitted CAF otherwise,” TRAI said.
The decision was taken after convening a meeting of
broadcasters, MSOs and cable operator association of Chennai to review the
progress of implementation of Digital Addessable Cable TV system in Chennai
Metropolitan Area.
