The broadcasters have also been asked to publish within 90 days Reference Interconnect Offer (RIO) for the DTH operators, containing technical and commercial terms for interconnection.
The RIO will be made available on the broadcaster’s website and to the DTH operators. The RIO will clearly indicate rates of channels and bouquets, details of discounts, payment terms, security and anti-piracy requirements, subscriber base reports and audit, tenure and termination of agreement. If a DTH operator makes a request to a broadcaster to enter into an interconnection agreement based on the published RIO, then the broadcaster will be obliged to do so within 45 days of the request.
