MUMBAI: Multi-system operator (MSO) Hathway Cable and Datacom has restored MSM Discovery’s channels back on their original LCN in Mumbai and Delhi following a Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) directive.
The TDSAT directed Hathway to restore MSM Discovery’s channels to their position in markets where the interconnection agreements are still in force. In the same breath, the TDSAT has given the MSO the freedom to place the content aggregator’s channels on a la carte basis in places there is no placement agreement. A MSM Discovery executive confirmed that its channels were back to their position on Hathway as per the interconnection agreement. The TDSAT passed the order just a day after it had passed a similar order against DEN Networks, which had displaced MSM Discovery channels to different in Phase II cities in Uttar Pradesh following a dispute over non-renewal of Phase I agreement for digital addressable system (DAS). MSM Discovery had moved TDSAT against Hathway Cable and Datacom for displacing its channels like Sony Entertainment Television (SET) and SAB to some other LCN in these markets thereby leading to a loss of viewership. The dispute between Hathway and MSM Discovery has been going on for quite some time as the Phase I deal for is coming up for renewal. Sources say that MSM Discovery is asking for a growth in subscription revenue and a decrease in carriage fee. Hathway is resisting MSM Discovery’s proposition contending that it has not yet started collecting money from the ground.
