The recommendations are part of the inputs, released on June 20, 2024, from the regulator to formulate the proposed National Broadcasting Policy of 2024 by the government.
Justifying the move, it said this should enable digital TV content on mobile devices using digital terrestrial broadcasting technologies like 5G broadcasting (by slicing the spectrum) and direct-to-mobile broadcasting.
Explaining the reason for its recommendation, Trai has said with over 300 million households in India there are more than 100 million without a television connection. Also according to industry estimates, the number of TV households in the country with linear and bi-directional TV is expected to reach 206 million in 2026, up from the 182 million in 2023.
