The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) will begin with the issuing of licences to companies in the country as from the month of October, for establishing and operating direct-to-home (DTH) services.
The supply of licenses would further enhance the national language and culture and the services of all illicit Indian DTH accessible in Pakistan would end. The procedures followed by PEMRA, guarantee the transparency of the organisation and any decisions ordered by the court are respected.
Absar Alam, the chairman at PEMRA, commented about the announcement: “PEMRA and media were important for each other. Everyone wanted an independent PEMRA along with free media, which could only be possible when the media would respect the decisions of PEMRA. In developed countries, the media was free but it showed responsibility”.
He further added that: “People in remote areas would be benefitted from DTH services, which would also help improve the standard of programmes telecast by the electronic media”.
To recall, DTH, being a digital satellite service, provides television viewing services directly to subscribers through satellite transmission in the country. Signals are received directly from satellite and are digital by nature with better quality (than analogue ones) in all features.
