IAMAI says FAST channels should not be brought under licensing framework
Short summary
IAMAI has argued that FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming TV) channels and ALTD services should not be brought under the broadcasting licensing framework, as they are app-based internet services. The association contends that extending broadcasting regulations to these services contradicts the government's own digital content ecosystem laws. This is a regulatory policy matter relevant to India's media and streaming industry.
