Dish TV moves Kerala HC against DD Free Dish’s regulatory exemption
Direct-to-home (DTH) operator Dish TV has moved the Kerala High Court, seeking directions to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) to bring Prasar Bharati-owned DD Free Dish under the same regulatory framework as private DTH platforms.
The company has sought a mandate for encryption and Digital Addressable System (DAS) requirements for DD Free Dish under existing laws, including the Indian Telegraph Act and the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act.
