Under this draft rule, a broadcaster must pay 0.1-1 per cent of gross revenue for the annual fee, which will be collected for the BTFP fund.
And fee collection will not be retroactive after the implementation of this amended rule.
Under the old rule, a broadcaster has to pay up to 2 per cent of gross revenue for the R&D fund, but the NBTC has not yet started calling all 24 digital TV broadcasters to pay up.
In a meeting with the junta's committee overseeing and following up on government spending, the NBTC also submitted a proposal to issue 11.6 million digital-TV vouchers to cover all households.
