MUMBAI: For all those in the cable and satellite TV industry, you can take a breather. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) which had issued the draft digital addressable system (DAS) interconnect agreement regulations on 5 June 2013 has extended the last date that they can send their comments.

At the time of issuing the order, the last date was 18 June 2013, that is today. Under the extension, industry stakeholders can send their written comments in by 26 June 2013.

The Draft Interconnection agreement for DAS seeks to do away with carriage fees under the must-provide clause, forces MSOs to telecast channels under the must carry provision; compliance of MSOs with the twin conditions as specified in the earlier versions of the same order.
