TRAI issued a Consultation Paper on inputs for formulation of National Broadcasting Policy-2024.
The broadcasting industry is a sunrise industry, according to the Ministry of Communications.
It has enormous potential to support the expansion of the Indian economy.
With the goal of positioning India as a global hub for content, the paper addresses important concerns that are frequently present in the broadcasting industry.
It also covers topics including bolstering public service broadcasting, problems with different media and entertainment sectors, preventing piracy, and guaranteeing content security.
Stakeholder feedback on the Consultation Paper on Inputs for Formulation of National Broadcasting Policy-2024 is being sought by TRAI by April 30th.
TRAI has also asked for opinions on what steps should be taken to give “TV Dark Homes” access to reasonably priced TV services.
In the country, there are about 100 million “TV Dark Homes”. There are currently 182 million households with televisions.
Additionally, TRAI has requested recommendations for boosting domestic production of broadcasting equipment and lowering dependency on imported versions.
Additionally, opinions on the regulatory strategy and policy that should be used for online gaming have also been sought.
TRAI had last year issued a pre-consultation paper.
National Broadcasting Policy will be issued by the Information & Broadcasting Ministry.
