The government is busy drawing parallels with the telecom industry, while
referring to the conditional access system (CAS). For instance, when import
duties on set-top boxes were slashed (till July 31) to make CAS popular,
domestic manufacturers were upset that their business interests were
ignored. But, officials in the information and broadcasting ministry
maintain that initially CAS needs to be promoted through imports. Just like
import of mobile phones was encouraged some 10 years ago.
