Trai has announced that it may fix prices of pay channels on the direct-to-home (DTH) platform in line with the Rs 5 per channel cap on conditional access system (CAS) services in Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata.

For the 2 existing DTH companies, Dish TV & Tata Sky, the current rates are likely to continue.
