TV homes in West Bengal for DAS Phase III almost halved in new MIB list
MUMBAI: The number of TV households covered under digital addressable system (DAS) Phase III in West Bengal has almost halved to 10,55,469 from 20,01,845 in the original list, as per the fourth updated list released by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB) for DAS Phase III.
The MIB has released the updated list following comments received from the West Bengal government. The state government had suggested deleting several urban areas in the 19 districts that were to transition to DAS from 1 January 2016. The ministry had issued the first updated list for Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Mizoram, Nagaland, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Andaman & Nicobar, and Puducherry. The second updated list included Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Manipur, and Telangana besides one union territory Daman & Diu. While the third updated list covered Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Mizoram, Nagaland, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Andaman & Nicobar, and Puducherry. In most cases, several urban areas were deleted or shifted in the updated lists. In certain cases, it also meant addition of new areas. As per the MIB’s original list, DAS Phase III was to cover 38.79 million television households across 630 districts and 7,709 urban areas. The MIB has claimed that 80 per cent of TV households in DAS Phase III areas have been digitised and that DTH operators have formed a large chunk of it. This, however, excludes Tamil Nadu where DAS has been stayed until 6 January. DAS has also been stayed in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh for two months each. The High Court of Sikkim has granted a 12-week stay on the implementation of DAS Phase III in Sikkim. Guests cannot see images and links in the messages.
