Got Retention offer from TATA SKY

Not true.
DTH players are not obliged to carry packs. Only channels. They can charge broadcasters for carrying packs. And they do.

There is no scope for negotiations now onwards, those r things of the past. All operators will get channels at same rates, only incentive all of them r eligible for are LCN placement, Reach of channel, etc.

Is the Interconnection signed at bouquet level? If yes, then it's a huge point of bargain for DPOs against Broadcasters!

According to a PTI report, the regulator also alleged that the DTH operator (aka TS ) is misleading its consumers by informing subscribers that “TRAI has extended the date of implementation of new regulatory framework”.

Yes, but ADTV is violating the law by offering the bouquets with missing channels! They must remove those bouquets from their platform.

Yes, I have observed that. Wonder what is going on!

Interconnection is an agreement In that, the parties have option of ticking channels and packs. If a cable or DTH operator wants, it can refuse to carry any package, and sign interconnection only for channels. If DTH player doesn't get money, it will boycott packs, and customers will get screwed. Now you see why I said bakra?
