As per the TAM Annual Universe Update - 2015,[6] India now has over 167 million households (out of 234 million)
with television sets, of which over 161 million have access to Cable TV or Satellite TV, including 84 million

TV owning households have been growing at between 8-10%. Digital TV penetration is at 64% as of September 2014.
The growth in digital broadcast has been due to the introduction of a multi-phase digitisation policy by the
Government of India.
An ordinance was introduced by the Govt. of India regarding the mandatory digitization of the Cable Services.
According to this amendment made in the section 9 of the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Amendment
Ordinance, 1995, the I&B ministry is in the process of making Digital Addressable System mandatory.
As per the policy, viewers would be able to access digital services only through a set top box (STB).

Internet Protocol television (IPTV) is the delivery of television content over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. This is in
contrast to delivery through traditional terrestrial, satellite, and cable television formats. Unlike downloaded media, IPTV
offers the ability to stream the source media continuously. As a result, a client media player can begin playing the content
(such as a TV channel) almost immediately. This is known as streaming media.

viewersa houses for judging purpose.
These numbers are treated as sample from the overall TV owners in different
geographical and demographic sectors.

15. The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) is a self-regulatory voluntary
organization of the advertising industry in India.
It is a non-Government body.
When an advertiser is creating an ad, the consumer is his audience.
The feedback from a consumer is important to the advertiser so he can be assured if
his message has been correctly conveyed.
If a consumer feels that a particular advertisement is in bad taste or is false in its
claims, they need a body or council to whom they can air their grievances and who
will take any appropriate action, if necessary.
ASCI as a self-regulatory body governing advertising content is the ideal medium as
its purpose is to serve both the advertisers as well as the consumers.

16. Telecom Regulatory authority of India was established on 20 February 1997 by an Act of Parliament
to regulate telecom services and tariffs in India. Earlier regulation of telecom services and tariffs
was overseen by the Central Government.
TRAI's mission is to create and nurture conditions for growth of telecommunications in India to
enable the country to have a leading role in the emerging global information society.
One of its main objectives is to provide a fair and transparent environment that promotes a level
playing field and facilitates fair competition in the market.
TRAI regularly issues orders and directions on various subjects such as tariffs, interconnections,
quality of service, Direct To Home (DTH) services and mobile number portability.
In January 2016, TRAI introduced an important change in telecommunication that would benefit all
consumers. Effective from 1 January 2016, consumers will be compensated for call drops.
However, there is a catch, per the rule, mobile users will get a compensation of Re 1 for every
dropped call but it will be limited to a maximum three dropped calls in a day. This regulation has
been quashed by Supreme Court on the ground of being "unreasonable, arbitrary and
unconstitutional.
