Official announcement released by Government of India via Press Information Bureau (PIB). Traditional TV distributors get the regulatory oversight they demanded, while digital platforms avoid several DTH-style obligations. Pricing, advertising and other commercial disputes remain. TRAI released recommendations for a light-touch authorisation framework for Application-based Linear Television Distribution services, including FAST platforms. TRAI has proposed a one-year transition period from notification of the authorisation framework for existing application providers to obtain.
