In its race against time to complete digitization of cable TV services, Chennai got four more days to make the switch with the Madras high court extending the deadline to November 9. But the new deadline is unlikely to help as Chennai lags far behind other metros with just about 60% digitization and the Tamil Nadu government has written to the Centre seeking time till December 31 to complete the process.
Centre had approved an ordinance in October 2011 to phase out analogue cable networks and make digitization of cable networks mandatory by 2014, on the recommendations of TRAI
Ministry of information and broadcasting extended the deadline for digitization of cable TV in four metros from June 30, 2012 to October 31, 2012
While Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata stuck to the deadline, Chennai got an extension
As on Nov 1 data shows Mumbai has achieved 100%, Kolkata 83%, Delhi 95% and Chennai 62% digitization
