But the new system compels the consumers to see only certain channels and this would affect their fundamental right and curtail rights to see all channels, it claimed.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, it would lead to collapse of livelihood of the LCOs and result in chaos, the petition submitted.<\/p>\n<p>The TRAI, in March, 2017, had notified the new regulatory framework for Broadcasting and Cable services and re-notified it on July 3, 2018, prescribing the implementation schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court had on October 30 dismissed a plea challenging the new regulation.<\/p>\n<p>Taking note of speculation that there may be a blackout of subscribed channels when the new regulations come into force, the TRAI on Wednesday said it has advised broadcasters and LCOs to ensure that &#8220;any channel that a consumer is watching today is not discontinued on December 29.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Lok Sabha was also told on Thursday rpt Thursday that the new regulatory framework for broadcasting and cable services that comes into force this week will provide &#8220;freedom of choice&#8221; and give consumers &#8220;direct control&#8221; on their monthly bill for television services.<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/hc.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-attachment-id=\"55020\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/hc-declines-to-stay-implementation-of-trai-regulations-for-tv-services\/hc-8\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/hc.jpg?fit=302%2C201&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"302,201\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"hc\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/hc.jpg?fit=302%2C201&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-55020\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/hc.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/hc.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/hc.jpg?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/hc.jpg?w=302&amp;ssl=1 302w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Madras High Court Friday declined to stay implementation of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India&#8217;s March, 2017 regulations and tariff order relating to fixation of charges for free and pay channels.
