She said, as Doordarshan is the official broadcaster of the forthcoming Commonwealth Games and it would be showing the event on high definition format, HDTV has to be and is going to be in place before the Games commences.<br/><br/>Mrs. Soni said though many countries in the world have switched to digital mode of broadcasting, India is still dependent on analog system of transmission and therefore there should be a deadline for such a shift.The minister said that this could be achieved sometime around 2017.<br/><br/>She said the much-delayed third phase rollout of FM radio stations would be done by the end of the current financial year and that the government is also giving a serious thought to a policy on mobile TV. The minister said she has asked the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India to look at an apparatus to help the ministry rationalise the fight for TRPs.<br/><br/>AIR correspondent reports, the minister had earlier written to TRAI seeking its views on how to rationalise the number of TV channels that have sought permissions for starting operations.
