MUMBAI:On 28 July, the Telecom Disputes Settlement Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT)had issued an order directing MSO Hathway Cable & Datacom to clear its four month dues of Rs 26.5crore to Star India. The TDSAT had directed Hathway to
make the payment by 30 July to which it
obliged.
The amount was to be calculated as the sum of
Rs 23 per subscriber for Star India’s
entertainment channels and RIO for the sports
channels. However, a Star official has claimed
this to add up to Rs 27 crore.
As per the order, the two parties have been
asked to settle the quarrel by entering into a
cost per subscriber (CPS) deal from August.
The MSO will have to pay Rs 27 per subscriber
to Star. Hathway is allowed to bundle channels
on its own given that at least one Star channel
is available in one/any bouquet it offers to
subscribers.
The interim order was only to settle business
issues between the two, even as the case
continues and will be heard on 11 August next.
The business discussion reached TDSAT when
Hathway decided to remove Star Sports
channels from its bouquets and offer it
separately in a sports pack or as a-la-carte. http://www.indiantelevision.com/regulators/tdsat/hathway-pays-rs-265-crore-to-star-india-140730
