of Terrorism Act,
2002

The part establishes
TUT- now called TBC
which is also established under section 4
of the Public Corporations Act. The provisions of Part V also
creates conflict of interest between the regulatory body (TCRA) and
the service provider
(TBC). It is provided
in the Media Services
Bill, 2008 that TBC
should be transformed
into the Public Service

transact commercial or

of a Charter between
TCRA and TBC is
considered unnecessary. The Regulator,
TCRA, should treat all
media outlets equally
and fairly without bias.
