Breaking Respite for Tata Sky, Airtel Digital TV, Discovery as TRAI assures no action till 30 Jan

Yesterday I read an article in Indian express news. All DPO are strongly against TRAI rules in court with TS.

DTH major Tata Sky’s ongoing legal tussle with the TRAI and its new tariff regime, in which Bharti Telemedia-owned Airtel Digital TV and Sun Direct are a part, has been adjourned by the Delhi High Court to 28 January.... Tata Sky vs TRAI: Delhi High Court adjourns matter to 28 January

Again extended till 28th Jan

Extended till 28Jan

This is turning out to be a joke. Is TS just using its influence to keep on adjourning it? Also, in case on 28-Jan TS loses it, would they be able to implement it in 3 working days?

Lots to see. What will the other DTH/MSO operators do in case the inevitable happens (i.e. adjourned/postponed beyond 01-Feb)

how TS can challenge SC order in lower court? what is the benefit of Supreme court then? I think our judicial system itself a joke then

Yesterday i watched a video of some news channel where they were discussing this case. TRAI representative was saying that the subscribers of TRAI should individually call TS and ask them to migrate to newer plans since it's highly beneficial for all parties involved! Another guy blatantly lied by saying if the price has increased after this new rule then the person who made the pack is unaware of how it works. I'm like what the hell this guy is smoking?

Multiple subscribers have made their packs and showed discontent since the tariff increased to most people who watch even 10-15 channels. Just because he watches 2 channels doesn't mean everyone does!! He also said Tata Sky was charging him 700+ for just few channels It's clear TRAI is misleading and manipulating for their own benefits and just wants to show people that Tata Sky has an agenda against them and are delaying unnecessarily!

Nothing will happen. TRAI is making the way to defeat NDA Government in next Elections.

SC Look at the case from patent point of view and the summery of SC judgement is if there is conflict between patent law and TRAI act then TRAI act will prevail whereas TS case is about cost of doing business related.

So legally both are different

The Problem With Tata Sky Is Their Existing Multi Year Deals With Few New Broadcasters

Somehow Now They Have To Put Those CF Paid Channels In Customers Pocket!

24 TPs Playing Biggest Role Here!

As They Had Already Acquired 24 TPs Somehow They Have To Utilise Them!

Eg:!

14 HD Per TP Means 100 HD In 7 TPs!

In Balance 17 TPs An Average Of 800+ SD Channels Can Be Easily Accommodate!

Now Big Broadcaster Won't Pay CF For Even A Single Channel Except Incentive Sharing!

So What You Want Tata Sky To Do Here?
