Breaking Airtel and Tata Play in advanced talks for merger

[Shark]

DishTV CEO Manoj Dobhal on Airtel DTH and Tata Play Merger Talks:

"Tata Play and Airtel are exploring the merger; even if there is no confirmation from any of them, the fact that the news is around establishes that the DTH industry needed the regulatory help in ensuring a level playing field that would have saved a lot of expenses, and the same could be put into creating better offerings and a broader digital horizon," he said.

"Implementing TRAI’s recommendations will unlock greater investment, foster innovation, and improve consumer access to quality services. A forward-looking regulatory approach is crucial for ensuring a competitive and thriving Pay TV ecosystem. We urge the MIB to expedite these much-needed reforms to support the industry's evolution in an increasingly digital landscape," Dobhal said.

So, after merger, both will use existing hardware but signal source and other things will be same?
(Which is not a case in Dish TV and D2H.)

Airtel DTH users might shift to Tata Play's Indian satellite without hardware change, so they can save Airtel's foreign satellite costs.
