After city-based media consultant Ravi Nair lodged a complaint against Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) recently imposed rules, the latter is set to fine-tune its tariff plans. mid-day had, across March, covered a series of developments as Nair waged war against the tariff imposed by the authority in December 2018, which made it mandatory for subscribers to pay for channels that they wished to see, over and above a stipulated monthly Network Capacity Fee (NCF) of Rs 153, including GST.
Nair says, "TRAI must follow the cable plan that I proposed, else the issues will not be resolved. I was lucky to have mid-day push my story. I messaged Rahul Gandhi, Narendra Modi, Ravi Shankar Prasad and Prakash Javdekar. They must have sent my letter to TRAI. [TRAI's] legal department sent me a letter stating they were looking into the matter."
