[icernet] Ministries differ on uplinking Star TV

[Arul Selvan]

  Though the satellite-uplinking policy allows all television channels 
to uplink from India irrespective of their ownership or management 
control, the Ministries of External Affairs, Home, Finance and 
Communications hold different views on the issue. These ministries had 
been consulted by the I&B Ministry as it decided to approach the Cabinet 
to take a fresh look at the uplinking policy in view of Star TV's 
application to run a 24-hour news channel.
