There is nothing to suffer for Airtel, they have took a great decision by not increasing pack prices and going by Star's words. Already all SD star channels will be available in pack for free as they have said. Only HD channels remain, In TN mostly people watch Star Vijay :HD (35 Rs) and if they need they watch Star Sports HD :1 for IPL if they need. As many of them are using low level packs only they will surely subscribe to Star only for IPL and later they will unsubscribe it. Mostly lifestyle and infotainment channels will get hurt as mostly no one will pay for it to watch it in Tamil Nadu except few. So Star only suffer.
Last year they had a similar issue with ZEE Network and they gave Zee RIO freetopup to all which contained all ZEE channels. So everyone got more channels what they already got it in packs. Then Zee and Airtel sorted it out in a week.
They will sort this also as they have clearly mentioned this as temporary issue.
Part 1 is painful bro we have to pay extra 100 Rs for few channels in addition to our existing Subscription for me it will reach nearly 600 in Internet TV and normal HD users will have to pay nearly 500.
Part 2 is good how fast Airtel-Star reach an agreement it will be good for all.
