But I feel future of TACTV is still uncertain because of unusual political situation..
Infact they have already made similar attempt few years back but it was dropped later.
Central govt gives them a deadline of 3 months to attain digitisation.
We can't make a sigh of relief until something happens real.. :-/
Yes, but last time they did not have DAS license but this time they have it so they have to be aggressive first else LCO's will never connect to them. Mostly LCO's will try to sell STB by force before Arasu procures STB.
A: Arasu has to first announce in news about its planned service for Chennai and, :k
1: Warn LCO not to force and sell STB to people.
2: Inform public that they will start supply free STB within 1 or 2 month.
B: After this, :clap
1: LCO's will stop selling STB from other MSO.
2: Also public would refuse to buy STB from LCO.
3: LCO might be forced to join Arasu.
C: To stop people from moving to DTH and to bring DTH subscribers back to local cable, :sp
1: Arasu has to give world class STB and,
2: Quality service with quick STB replacement.
3: Underground cable from MSO to LCO so no frequent disconnection.
4: Immediate re-connection of cable especially if its cut during weekend.
5: Best customer care and support on par with DTH.
All the above are interconnected and depends on the other, if one fails then Chennai subscribers will move to DTH and wont return in future.
Point C seems to be the main reason for Chennai LCO's refusing to join Arasu. If Arasu guarantees the best to LCO's then they will move to Arasu without fear.
Point A & B are for public to force LCO to join Arasu.
