✓Such broadcasting is considered an effective method of sound broadcasting for services intended for limited locations and reception areas, such as hospital radio services, amusement parks, business premises, closed communities, small habitations, and local events.
✓TRAI regulates telecom services including fixation/revision of tariffs for telecom services which were earlier vested in the Central Government.
