Viki said:Arasu has full rights to create new LCOs but not by grabbing old LCOs control room and infrastructure. At least in this you agree with me.
Viki said:Talk to someone affected by Arasu's recent moves. Then how Arasu has changed from 2011.
aravindan said:Already TRAI passed a law which says only 50% of cable connections should be hold by a MSO in a State (to curb the monopoly)..
That recent move by TRAI intend us to think that rules are only to curb Arasu.
The single entity MSO which has an existing market share of over 50 per cent in a state, however, will not need to cut down its majority control. But it will not be permitted to merge or acquire the control of any other MSO or local cable operator (LCO) in that market.

aravindan said:TDSAT decision for Arasu haven't come yet..
aravindan said:I don't think Arasu will get DAS license before elections or anytime sooner..:-/:-/
HOUSE-MD said:Since Arasu has already received CAS license from TRAI and is a full functioning MSO unlike the others who have applied are yet to start any business, TRAI might add Arasu as an exception and award the DAS license. Hope the Madras HC would help Arasu and its subscribers on this.
aravindan said:CAS license also going to expire..
In the interim order, Justice V. Dhanapalan said it was not known why the Centre had not taken any decision on Arasu Cable TV’s application so far.
The petitioner had been permitted for multi system operations. Considering that the petitioner had applied to the Centre for DAS licence, the court felt that the centre was not justified in keeping the matter pending.
When the authorities of the Centre and the State were not in a position to take a decision on the DAS licence as the case may be, the ultimate sufferers were innocent subscribers.
Therefore, he was of the considered opinion that the subscribers could not be put to hardship and irreparable loss. As such there could not be any disconnection of signals to the subscribers by the authorities.
