Lessons learn from implementing first two phases of cable TV digitisation to be implemented in rest two phases: Manish Tewari

I & B Minister in a conference stated that whatever we have learned from implementing the first two phases of cable TV digitisation will be incorporated while implementing the rest two phases.

He stated this while addressing a conference at the 8th Indian Magazine congress in the capital on 24th February. The Minister stated that digitisation was bound to game changer for the sector and would define contours of orderly growth.

While providing qualitative choices to the consumer, digitisation would also ensure that the subscription revenues and skewed business models are rectified. The Government has already decided to merge phases III and IV and complete the entire process by December this year.

 While the first phase of digitisation covering the four metros had come into effect from November 2012 (except Chennai), the second phase covering 39 cities was implemented by 31 March 2013. 

The Government is still considering the proposal to merge Phase III covering all urban areas (Municipal Corporations/Municipalities) and Phase IV covering rest of India to 31 December 2014. The present dates for these two phases are 30 September 2014 and 31 December 2014 respectively.
