TRAI NEW DTH/CABLE RULE MAY BE IMPROVED AFTER 23 MAY, 2019 :

 TRAI NEW RULES CREATING PROBLEM DAY BY DAY, TRAI COMES WITH A GRAND CHOICE FOR CUSTOMERS THAT PAY WHAT YOU WATCH, BUT THEIR'S A MISCONCEPTION IN THE MINDS. EVERYONE WAS THINKING ABOUT LOW BILLS, MORE CHANNELS BUT WHEN RULE ACTUALLY APPLIED BY TRAI. THE FIRST THING THAT CREATES PROBLEM WAS RS.153 NCF (RS.130 FEES + 18 % GST), IT REALLY COSTS HIGH FOR LOWER MIDDLE CLASS, AFTER PAYING 153 PEOPLE COMES TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE GETTING ONLY 100 FTA CHANNELS. IF ANYONE WISH TO CONTINUE TO WATCH ALL CHANNELS THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY SEEN BY HIM AFTER TRAI NEW RULES, THE BILL GOES UPTO RS.400-RS 500. 

MANY PEOPLE WERE COMPLIANING ABOUT THE NEW RULES, BUT NO ONE LISTENS AS GOVERNMENT AND OPPOSITION PARTY WERE BUSY IN HANDLING CAMPAIGNS OF ELECTION 2019. NOW ELECTION HAS FINISHED, THE RESULT WILL COME ON 23 MAY, AFTER THAT THEIR MIGHT BE CHANCES THAT THE RULING GOVERNMENT WILL INTERFIER. PEOPLE MIGHT GET SOME RELIEF IN THEIR TV BILLS.
