Govt On Revenue-sharing Wavelength For FM Radio

[icernet-admin at listserv.cddc.vt.edu]

It is more or less final that private FM radio sector would shift to a 
revenue-sharing model from the existing licence fee regime. There’s a broad 
consensus on this view among the members of the expert committee on radio, 
according to sources. Although the committee, headed by Ficci secretary 
general Amit Mitra, has been debating on whether to recommend a revenue-
sharing structure or a fixed amount for a period of 10 years, it is firm on 
revenue-sharing now. Revenue-sharing will follow payment of a one-time 
entry fee through a process of bidding. The committee is yet to arrive on a 
revenue-sharing figure, but indications are that it will be quite low.
