Just 4 days back I sent
following email to Shri R
S Sharmaji [ Chairman , TRAI ] :
In which I wrote :
“ Why should a subscriber get tied to just ( any
) one broadcaster ?
Why am I held a
captive hostage of one subscriber ? – with its dish and set-top box ?
Why can’t I choose
a combo of individual channels offered by several DTH broadcasters
?
Why can I not have a
“ Selection Portability “ across all DTH
broadcasters ? “
Then this morning , I came across following news report in Times of India :
Extract :
Troubled
by your cable operator or DTH company, but unable to change your service
provider as you are locked into your set-top box ?
Things
may soon change as broadcast regulator TRAI plans to make digital boxes inter-operable by end of this year
This
will give freedom to millions of customers to change their operator at no cost
in case of deficient services
“
I am working on this. It will happen “ , TRAI chairman R S Sharma told TOI .
“
Rest assured we
will make inter-operable STBs happen “ , Sharma added
“
…. Instead of loading proprietary software, the boxes should have a method which
would allow downloading of software post purchase “
Thank You , Shri Sharmaji,
Nearly
20 years back , Bill Gates wrote a seminal book , titled :
With
this initiative , you have a GIANT STEP towards DIGITAL INDIA ! – with a request sent by E Mail !
Readers
who want to send emails to Shri Sharmaji , requesting him to take those other revolutionizing
steps , may want to
