Breaking NTO 2.0 partially upheld by Bombay HC

Iphone vs Xiaomi?

How relevant is this? IMO, Quality comes at its own price.

Exactly.

You want a multi award winning brand like Tata Sky charge same as some local cable operator? If everything is priced similar. No competition exists in the market. Why do you think Tata Sky gained so many users after NTO? Because same users weren't willing to pay for Tata Sky's premium subscription earlier.

Ok. Will not discuss which i was.... Competition between broadcasters is still open just that TRAI providing equal and fair opportunities to operators and customers. Also if broadcasters were not so stubborn on giving huge discounts on bouquet and give standalone chs at extremely high cost then main problem would not have arisen. If say a channel was available for 5 Rs per month)avg calculated from long term deal price) then why r broadcasters not confident to give same price in current monthly model...if content, quality is good then customers will opt but as u know pushing unwanted chs stuff will stop

Equal and fair opportunity comes at a seperate rental from consumers. Without rental you can't have a subscription. Don't tell me it's not forced.

Dude there is different factor to it. Someone here was charging me higher. Because this XYZ brand had been having more variety than others offering. That same XYZ users has access to better customer services. With everybody charging system. There is no point of offering better service when some ABC brand is charging same as XYZ premium brand.

Ads, Carriage Fee, NCF, service chs fee etc etc....u must know all r still not earning equally....u r confusing too many things....simple thing is TRAI rules benefit all if understood properly

If They increase price of channels by challanging us & TRAI, it will be not profitable for them!

In simple word, no. 99% users didn't benefit.

Yes, I agree.

Now tell me. Did that small operator who doesn't have a decent website offered to set up a proper customer service by charging same as a premium brand?

But that was not the case. Small operators were squeezed in old system end up paying more to broadcasters. While tata sky could flex muscles. Its not just about service but scale too. You cant sell same product at 10 rs in mega city and 15 rs in village. Here village definitely dont have better services with higher price as you claim.

Any backup for this data. Or simply throwing numbers like nobody benefitted. Apart from various surveys, even DDF poll in some thread resulted substantial users saving ₹ though channel count reduced. So i expect u shud explain source u quote when you give some figures.
While you have not cleared stand on cross subsidisation yet

TRAI mandated website, toll free customer care, etc,., for all DTH and MSOs. Some MSOs not implemented it, due to not follow up by TRAI

I Believe Even Broadcasters Might Aware Of Customers Thought!

Certainly They Will Do Something With Regards To SD & HD

Like No Ads On HD Or Some Premium Contents First On HD (May Be Telecast Early)
