Breaking NTO 2.0 partially upheld by Bombay HC

[satyajeet]

Than what about smaller broadcasters who had to shut shop because customers paid so much for the stadium tickets which is NCF. He couldn't buy the samosa and ran the samosa stall inside the stadium and had to close it's business.

So you are saying one should buy samosa even if he dont want to buy? channel shut down not because people dont have money, but because not many people watch them. So better improve quality of samosa to sell it or may be people in stadium dont eat samosa which was forced earlier in form of DPO packs

It shut down because many were eating pizzas. Despite Samosas being fairly priced. It had to shut down. Take FYI TV18 and AXN as example.

U r confusing too many things....9XO shut down bcoz of separate reason and plz search in forum as i have discussed it in detail earlier

What reasons? You said it would be back. I don't see any signs of it being back. If I am not wrong it had carriage fee issue. It kept getting removed on my old regional cable company as well as Tata Sky.

Baseless logic. If SD is charged ₹25. Than HD should cost ₹50? Than 2 flagship channel along with monthly rental will cost ₹253.40.

I'm not saying necessary tht hd users will have to do this
Broadcaster can put 1 hd ad free at any price they need
But at same time thr should be simulcast hd feed of sd at same price
But here broadcasters are arrogant not my issues
I feel many people are ready to pay 25 35 for not seeing those irritating ads

Yes the carriage fee system is responsible for non availability of many FTA channels on operators. This becomes more acute on DTH. One more request to broadcasters don't launch the channels for themselves make them available to operators. Many of them not available for years for some or other reasons. Whats the use of the system when you dont have all the choices.

Yes, they were but break up was unavailable to u. If say out of Rs. 220 , Rs. 120 was ch cost being paid to broadcasters then 100 was going to operator and this profit margin was low for smaller operators be it cable or dth as their content agreement cost with broadcasters was high and hence uneven scenario i have been pointing all the way

To add to this. It was not the operators revenue that increased substantially post NTO 1, but we're of broadcasters.

For a person who watches 2 or 3 channels & a person who watches all channels ncf is same
Y can't trai put ncf on single channel basis

Because operators cannot bring those 2 channels exclusively for you. It has to carry many channels of which you will subscribe the channels you want.
