Government

launches

SMS

campaign

to

sensitize

people

regarding

consumer

application forms for DAS

As consumers enter into agreements with local cable operators (LCOs) at a snail’s pace, thegovernment has decided to launch an SMS campaign in order to sensitize cable TV

subscribers in Phase‐I and Phase‐II cities about the need to fill the consumer application

form (CAF).

The consumers are needed to fill the CAF in order to exercise their choice of channels and

thereby make payment for the channels of their choice only. Broadcasters are already

working by running scrolls on TV channels to inform the public about the importance of filling CAF forms. MSOs are also giving messages on their local TV channels. As part of the

process, over 80 fresh provisional registrations were issued to MSOs for operation in one ormore cities of Phase‐II, with the condition that they would put their digital head‐end into

operation before the cut‐off date. After technical inspection of all the concerned MSOs which

showed some had not put their set ups into operation, the ministry has issued 48 show causenotices, and cancelled the provisional registration of 15 defaulting MSOs.

According to the data received from the MSOs and direct‐to‐home Operators, 22 cities have

already achieved 100 percent target of digitization. Another 14 cities have shownconsiderable progress and the achievement remains less than 50 per cent only in Coimbatore

and Vishakhapatanam.

MSM & President of Indian Broadcasting Foundation, “There is a great deal of concern over the credibility and reliability of TAM. Seeing the

fluctuations, which are happening since IPL and before that, we have decided to stop

subscribing to TAM. The GEC market has shrunk by 20 per cent, which again puts a questionmark over the reliability of TAM. Why would I pay for this? The entire IBF has complained

and expressed their frustration. They even asked for a suitable explanation but we did not

get one.”
