DELHI:A total of 104 multi-system operators (MSOs) all over the country have been granted permanent registration for 10 years to operate the digital addressable system while the licences of 16 MSOs have been cancelled.
The MSOs in both the approved and the
cancelled list had been given provisional
permission earlier.
Those who have got permission include
IndusInd Media and Communications, Hathway
Cable & Datacom, Manthan Broadband, Den
Network, Home Cable, Digicable Network,
Delhi Distribution Company and Asianet
Satellite Communications.
Kolkata based MSO Digicable Communications
has been denied permission after the break-up
of the joint venture with Mumbai based
Digicable Networks, which has received
permission for Greater Mumbai, National
Capital Territory of Delhi and Greater Kolkata.
Digicable Network India managing director &
CEO Jagjit Singh Kohli said that litigation is still
pending against Digicable Communication for
breach of certain provisions.
Other cancelled permissions include Skynet
Digital Services, Jai Maa Vaishno Entertainment,
Intermedia Cable Communications, Supersonic
Networks and Godfather Communications.
Industry sources said that the approved list
was in addition to the 140 whose names had
been approved in March last year.
The Ministry website mib.nic.in has added
information about the approved MSOs, listing
the areas for which they have been given
permission.
The website also contains the reasons in brief
for the denial of permission to those which
have failed to get the licences. In most cases,
it is due to failure to get clearance from the
Home Ministry.
The new list is the outcome of Open Houses
held by the Ministry with various MSOs, while
some have come as a result of court cases. http://www.indiantelevision.com/regulators/i-and-b-ministry/over-100-additional-msos-get-10-year-licences-16-fail-to-get-clearance-140725
