Bouquets to continue
The Madras High Court last week gave go-ahead to TRAI’s Tariff and Interconnection orders
with the exception of 15% cap on discount on bundles vis-a-vis a-la-carte prices. This is
positive for the broadcasters and one of the moot points of contention. Without restriction
on bundle discounting, the effective power to package will still remain with the
broadcasters. However, the new tariff order will increase transparency and level the playing
field for stakeholders in the sector. TRAI and Star India have filed caveat -- a notice
informing the Court that it may file a suit or application against the new order and that its
implementation may take lot of time.
TRAI loses on consumer choice: Absence of capping on discount on bundles is in effect the
same as the current situation where broadcasters keep a-la-carte prices high but give huge
discount on bouquets, thus forcing distributors to keep the entire bouquet of channels and in
turn keep pushing all channels to the consumer.
Success on increasing transparency: The new tariff order will increase transparency in the
sector. With clauses of uniform pricing across distribution platforms and guidelines on carriage
fee, the new order will go a long way in increasing transparency and decrease friction between
various stakeholders.
Creates level playing field: Uniform network fee of Rs130 across distribution platforms and
clauses of uniform policy on discounts to DPOs on distribution fee as well as carriage will
provide level playing field to DTH and cable operators. At the same time, 20-35% range for
distribution fee through transparent discount will protect economies of scale for bigger players.
IPL 11 – 8% higher per match viewership YoY: Star Network garnered 8% higher average
per match viewership of IPL 11 vs viewership of IPL 10 on Sony channels. Regional feeds of
IPL 11 contributed 21% toward average per match viewership, while contribution of Star
Sports Hindi stood at 63%.

Key features of tariff and interconnection orders
Broadcasters to declare MRP of channels uniform across platforms on a-la-carte basis and bundles.
SD and HD versions of same channels, premium channels and FTA channels cannot be part of the
bundle. Channel prices above Rs19 cannot be part of bundles.
Broadcasters must provide all channels on a-la-carte basis to distributors and in turn distributors to
the consumer. Distributors shall offer all bundles from broadcasters to the consumer. Distributors
can offer their own bundles, but cannot break any bundle provided by broadcasters to form new
bundles.
Distributors should declare retail price of channels and bouquets, but it not be higher than
broadcaster ’s MRP.
Distributors must provide basic pack of 100 channels including FTA and government mandated
channels.
DPO’s can charge Rs130 as network fee for 100 channels and Rs20 for every additional 25
channels. The rental amount for channels subscribed and distribution fee shall be shared in the ratio
of 55:45 between MSO and LCO.
There should not be any exclusive contracts between broadcasters and distributors.
Broadcasters must pay 20% distribution fee to distributors for collection and remittance of pay
channel revenues. Broadcaster may offer a discount of maximum 15% on MRP to distributors based
on fair, objective and quantifiable parameters.
Rate of carriage fee can be maximum 20 paise and 40 paise per subscriber per month for SD
channel and HD channel respectively. Rate of carriage fee should decrease with the increase in
number of subscribers of the TV channel. Maximum discount of 35% on carriage fee is permitted.
Interconnection order mandates that broadcasters must provide channels to all DPOs. Distributors
must provide every alternate network spare capacity on ‘first come first serve basis’.
