November 7,2012, HANOI – Authorities are seeking ways to put pay TV services in order as operators have continuously revised up service fees whilst failing to improve the services’ quality accordingly.
Pham Hong Hai, director of the Authority of Telecommunications under the Ministry of Information and Communications, said: “The information ministry now is outlining a circular to control the quality of pay TV services and will issue it soon.”
The ministry will issue technical standards relating to the quality of pay TV services, Hai said, adding it will apply criteria to inspect the services from 2013.
As soon as the circular comes into force, those companies offering services with poor quality will be fined. Besides, the circular will tighten control on contents of pay TV services as well.
