The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has released its recommendations on service authorization, drawing divided responses from the radio industry. While some players see it as a positive step for the sector, others believe key issues remain unaddressed.
A major point of contention is the absence of mandatory FM radio integration in smartphones, which industry stakeholders argue could limit accessibility and hinder the growth of FM broadcasting. Supporters of the recommendation highlight its potential to streamline regulations and enhance radio operations, while critics emphasize the need for policy changes that ensure wider FM reach in the digital age.
As discussions continue, the radio industry awaits further clarity on how these recommendations will shape the future of FM and digital broadcasting in India.- Airmedia Broadcast Coimbatore.
