MIB reiterates IPTV compliance rules, warns against third-party consultants

The Information and Broadcasting Ministry on Wednesday issued a fresh advisory to Internet Protocol television (IPTV) service providers, reiterating compliance requirements and cautioning against the involvement of intermediaries.

The advisory referred to the 2008 policy guidelines for IPTV services, which mandate that telecom licensees and cable operators submit a self-certified declaration before commencing operations.
