The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has indicated that it is considering recommending further restrictions on cross-media ownership in India across TV and radio broadcasting, news print and online sectors. TRAI is mandated to oversee the telecom and broadcasting industry.
TRAI’s consultation paper on “Issues Relating to Media Ownership”, published in February this year, examined the regulatory contours of ownership in the media sector in India. TRAI had issued a similar consultation paper in 2008 and to further substantiate the recommendations of the 2008 paper, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting commissioned a research study by the Administrative Staff College of India in 2009.
Based on the study, TRAI’s 2013 consultation paper sought stakeholder comments on several questions raised on cross-media ownership and methodologies to apply restrictions.
