Broadcasting Bill: No timeline
set says Jaitley
"No specific time line has been
set to get a broadcasting bill in place. But we are trying
our best to get it out at the earliest." Thus spoke Information
and Broadcasting Minister Arun Jaitley at the 'International
Conference on the Business of Entertainment: India - Opportunities
in the 21st Century' on 30 March in Mumbai.
He was making the inaugural address at the two day seminar.
He added that the Broadcasting Draft has been sent to the
law ministry. "It will come back to us soon. But I cannot
say when it will be sent to Parliament."
"We are trying to link legislation for entertainment with
telecom. The Bill would take into consideration issues of
convergence, and consultations are on with the Telecom Ministry
for this", Jaitley said. "A broad framework for convergence
is to be laid down which will help legislate the entetainment
industry."
