Why arasu cable not get digital license from central govt tell about. reason or opinion.

TRAI and other companies were just created to acheive DAS on par with the developed nations with little or no plannings.

DD & DD DTH will be allowed but TN govt's Arasu cant become MSO.

People will be given free rice and wheat through ration shops but have to pay a huge price for STB.

People can cry and do dharna for fuel and LPG price hike but cant say a word against cable hike in the name of DAS and if someone brings MSO like Arasu for a cheaper cost then it is illegal and not allowed.

On top of all these it also looks like a dedicated and specialized team of members inside Arasu working against Arasu and delays any Arasu plans and provides worse signal quality whereby pushing the LCO's indirectly which can easily make people move to DTH if incase Arasu gets a licence.

RE: why centre not given digital license to arasu cable

Following reason for centre govt not give digital licence to arasu cable
1. Dmk and maran is to run scv cable and
sun direct.
2. Other dth company to run their business
tamil nadu.
3. Some tv channel behind in this
4. Admk is opposite ruling govt in tamil nadu
5. Trai rule made by maran as minister.as before arasu cable get cas licence. At that time he fight with kalginar
6. They introduce a digital cable in india to increase dth company to increase his customer. So they fast das to till their ruling period.

Das is good for cable network to compatate dth company.india is big population countries
Many set top box come from china and japan
In india.so india lot of time to take das 100%. To complete 100% das centre have step to rate set top box price and channel price. This das rate is very high compare to cas.govt have step one by one complete the 1phase 100% complete and go to phase 2 to complete das. This govt. Tell %. And they succeed.

Set top box rate is 400-600 in china. U bought to india u give rs 200 per set top box to govt .now they increase rate in this budget. Mso margin 500 per set top box they give 1200 to 1500 above . They tell this is rent for set top box of paticular mso. U change the mso u have retain set top box.govt have to one set top box work for all mso

TRAI should force MSO's to use Indian made STB's and force Indian STB manufacturers to make STB's with global smart card access and make sure that these STB's are available in the market.

Also STB's should be available at different prices starting from Rs 500/750 and make all types of STB's at all price ranges available enough in the market.

MSO's shouldn't be allowed to force people to buy STB's from them.

When US started DAS they gave coupons to people for subsidy for STB's why cant India do the same to help its poor citizens?

Why arasu cable not get digital license from central govt tell about. reason or opinion.

TRAI - Regulatory Autority has clearly informed that central or state govt or its related concerns should not involve in channel broadasting and channel distribution. Because with its political power it can suppress or oppress some channels. If TN Arasu cable is given license then the other states will ask for license. Then TRAI cannot control the system.
Now itself for political reasons Arasu cable has informed Rs. 70/- for 100 channels. In this prospect what did the TN govt invest or do expense.
They are telling the facility is given to last end villages. But all village operators are suffering by this cost. All village operators are having around 100 to 300 connections. With this connections they cannot run for Rs. 70/- They are getting Rs. 100/- instead. Public have not yet reported for this Rs. 100/- But govt says they are doing good for people. In all other states cable subscription is about Rs. 150/-. Here how can it possible. If govt gives subsidy then it it ok. So at any cost Arasu cable should not be given digital license. Instead govt should invest share in MSO's run by cable operators. They can organise by cooperating cable operators. Then govt will ever me remembered by all.

Central and State? Then what is DD Free Dish (formerly DD Direct+) huh

The same regulatory has said no to political parties owned channels, what is the status on this?

Also Arasu has already been started and successfully running for the last 3 years and stopping it will be against the public benefit so they cant deny that, other states don't have service similar to Arasu so they can just stop what was not even started. But Arasu's story is different.

If TN Arasu cable is given license then the other states will ask for license. Then TRAI cannot control the system.

Who was controlling the cable system all these years? Are all popular FTA channels are coming in analogue and what was done about it?

Now itself for political reasons Arasu cable has informed Rs. 70/- for 100 channels. In this prospect what did the TN govt invest or do expense.

What type of a question is this?? If Arasu doesn't pay then who pays for all the Pay Channels and providing the same to all the LCO's? Though they started with just a few channels now Arasu has procured over 137 pay channels and did they ever ask the LCO's or the public for additional payment??

This is the same question LCO's are asking. Once DAS comes its the same Arasu that needs to invest for the STB and other digital equipments and if subsidy is given for STB then its the same Arasu that needs to bare the cost.

They are telling the facility is given to last end villages. But all village operators are suffering by this cost. All village operators are having around 100 to 300 connections. With this connections they cannot run for Rs. 70/-

Its seems both previous and current MSO pays the LCO's the same amount. How did it become a big issue now all of a sudden?

Govt says they are doing good for people. In all other states cable subscription is about Rs. 150/-. Here how can it possible.

All other states don't have a Government service like Arasu so those people need to either demand their government for a similar service or pay what ever the private MSO's are demanding or complain to TRAI.

And never compare TN to other states, TN has done several things that are not done on other states. TN doesnt have Hindi and almost all other states have it either as a second or a third language, how was it possible only in TN? This list is endless.

So at any cost Arasu cable should not be given digital license. Instead govt should invest share in MSO's run by cable operators. They can organise by cooperating cable operators. Then govt will ever me remembered by all.

Its against the policy of the current govt and it is again not what that was promised to the public.

Govt has to bring Arasu to Chennai and if possible nationalise private cable television network operations in the State.

Free Dish and DD channels are operated by the state-controlled public service broadcaster Prasar Bharati which is an autonomous body.

The same regulatory has said no to political parties owned channels, what is the status on this?

No party has a channel , but politicians (individual) has.

The assets of Doordarshan and All India Radio remain under the government's control and not Prasar Bharati's though the Act was passed in 1990 and notified in 1997.

The CEO of Prasar Bharati has a rather nominal control over his news services when all postings and transfers, and confidential reports are controlled by the ministry of I&B.
