Tatas, Bharti on a call to explore joint front in telecom and DTH

[wewake]

IMO merger will lead to a New Company otherwise there's is no any single benefit of merging.

After merger, new connections will get signals from only one satellite either from 83° or 108°

And present dishes will get realignment in a year or 2 years

Or simply they'll follow the footsteps of Dish TV Videocon

Merger will benefit customers more than anyone else, as DTHs will have more space on satellites and prices will be reduced due to single carriage fee for two operators.v

SingTel raises concerns over Airtel–Tata deal for combing telecom, DTH businesses

SingTel, which effectively has around 36% stake in Bharti Airtel, has raised questions regarding the rationale behind the deal between Bharti Airtel and Tata Tele along with Tata Communications and Tata Sky, CNBC TV18 reported quoting sources.

SingTel is concerned about the huge debt that Tata Telecommunications has and also the synergy with Bharti Airtel’s portfolio. The debt is over Rs 30,000 crore.

While the talks are for combining telecom, overseas cable and enterprise services, it also includes DTH business as a sweetener.

The DTH deal would be a more complex exercise as Tata Sky is a JV between the Tata Group and 21st Century Fox. Murdoch wants to increase stake in Tata Sky. Star India, 21st Century Fox’s wholly owned India subsidiary, will not want to be part of the telecom venture. Therefore, the DTH deal has to be dealt with separately. It has to be an entity having the DTH businesses only. The possibility could be that Star’s holding remains the same in the merged entity while Tata Group gets to dilute its stake.
