By Priya Pathak: Your TV bills are going to cost less from February 1, thanks to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) new rules that apply from the same date.

On paper, customers are going to be entitled to lots of benefits in terms of pricing, with TRAI directing operators to offer discounts on long-term plans. However, do the changes necessarily mean your TV bills are going to get cheaper? Or will they stay unaffected?

There have been a host of changes made to the DTH regulations but there are only a few that actually make any difference. -Most TV subscribers who swear by the a-la-carte system of choosing channels will be happy with the new NCF charge. TRAI says that the NCF charge of Rs 130 stays unchanged but subscr...
