Eenadu TV pushes TRAI to regulate FAST platforms, not broadcasters

The submission suggests any new regulatory framework should focus on the platforms themselves rather than imposing duplicative regulations on broadcasters.
Key Takeaways
- Eenadu TV submitted its view to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
- The proposal calls for platform-level accountability in FAST, not duplicative rules for broadcasters.

- The filing comes as TRAI weighs whether a new regulatory framework is needed.
