Section 9 of CTNRA : Section 9: Use Of Standard Equipment In Cable Television Network

Explanation using Example

Imagine a local cable TV operator, "SkyView Networks," who has been using a certain type of set-top box for their subscribers. In 2021, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) publishes a new Indian Standard for set-top boxes to enhance signal quality and user security. According to Section 9 of The Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995, "SkyView Networks" must ensure that by 2024, all their set-top boxes conform to this new standard. If they fail to upgrade their equipment by the deadline, they would be operating in violation of the Act, which could result in penalties or a revocation of their operating license.
