MIB mulling introduction of OTT, DTH regulation bill
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) is mulling the introduction of a new bill to regulate broadcasting services like OTT apps and DTH services, as per media reports. The bill is likely to be addressed after the next year's general elections. As per the report, the OTT broadcasting regulation will be taken up separately. According to a person quote in the report, broadcasting was earlier under communication in the telecom bill but it has been now removed from the definition. Meanwhile, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is planning to bring out a consultation paper for matters related to OTT players. The regulatory body is looking to deliberate on MIB overseeing the content regulation and MeitY handling the carriage part.
