Prasar Bharati has invited proposals for the integration of application platforms with its OTT platform.
One proposal involves integrating OTT, gaming, educational, or other apps within the Prasar Bharti OTT platform on a revenue-sharing basis, where only the applicant platform provides content to Prasar Bharti.
The other proposal suggests a similar app-in-app integration but allows for content exchange between the applicant platform and Prasar Bharti on a revenue-sharing model.
Prasar Bharati further said that gaming applications promoting 'monetary transactions' and 'betting' or 'game of chance' in any mode will not be allowed
