Cable operators allege that unregistered local players in rural areas are illegally taking unencrypted feed from DD Free Dish and providing it to customers, which is harming the industry
Sources in the industry say one of the major cable operators of Kerala signed the subscriber agreement on February 22 while others are still waiting for today’s court hearing
The cable operators' apex body informed advertisers that the signal blackout has purged 46 billion minutes of viewing time per day for the past three days
The two factions released statements over the weekend after broadcasters disconnected channel signals to cable operators who refused to sign fresh distribution agreements under NTO 3.0
The apex body of MSOs stated that the proposed increase in prices by the broadcasters would be exorbitant and the increase in prices for the customers could be as high as 60%
In a letter, the MSO body asked TRAI to put a cap on channel prices for the overall benefit of the consumers as the rise in driver channel prices has defeated the purpose of NTO 2.0 regime
