    TDSAT directs Zeel to sign RIO based interconnect pacts with five MSOs

    NEW DELHI: Five multi-system operators have been asked by the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal to pay Zee Entertainment Enterprise Ltd (Zeel) a sum of Rs 3 crore to enable the signing of an RIO based interconnect agreement.

    Chairman Aftab Alam and member B B Srivastava said the agreement would be from 19 May, the date from which the petitioners are operating on that basis.

    Listing the matter to come up on 16 August, the tribunal on 2 June made it clear that both the payment of Rs 3 crores and the direction for execution of the RIO based agreement is without prejudice to the rights and contentions of the parties and will abide by the final result of the petition.

    The petitions were filed by Fastway Transmission Pvt Ltd, Jagsumi Perspectives Pvt Ltd, Novabase Digital Entertainment Pvt. Ltd, and Radiant Digitek Network Pvt. Ltd against a general notice asking all the MSOs who on the date of issuance (11 May) of the fresh RIO by Zee Entertainment did not have a subsisting interconnect agreement with it to execute an agreement based on the RIO. 

    The petitioners were willing to execute an RIO based agreement until the validity and legality of the RIO coming under challenge in this petition and several other petitions on that issue is finally decided by the tribunal.

    But the tribunal said the difficulty was that Zeel said the petitioners owe the sum of Rs 5.4 crores and odd and unless the dues are cleared, it is not inclined even to enter into the RIO based inter connect agreement. But the petitioners say the dues, if properly worked out, would come down to Rs 1,66,16,726, which the petitioners are agreeable to pay.

  • TDSAT accepts assurance by Malwa MSO of meeting legitimate demands of a group of LCOs in Malwa

    TDSAT accepts assurance by Malwa MSO of meeting legitimate demands of a group of LCOs in Malwa

    New Delhi, 12 March: The Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal, which had earlier this month asked the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India why there were no other multisystem operators in the Malwa area, has taken note of an assurance by Fastway Transmission Pvt Ltd that it will ensure that all lawful and legitimate grievances of the petitioner LCOs are fully redressed.

    The Tribunal put off to 21 March a petition by the New Malwa Cable Operator Sangh, Punjab.

    Asking the regulator to ‘ponder over and address’ this question, the Tribunal dismissed a petition by another body of LCOs, the Malwa Cable Operators Sangharsh Committee seeking cable TV signals.

    It had said the rejection of the petition by the Committee seeking signals from Fastway was “not due to any lacuna in the law”.

    “It is because there is no one other than the respondent to whom these LCOs may go for supply of signals. How and why such a situation has arisen is a question for the Regulator to ponder over and to address,” Chairman Aftab Alam and members Kuldip Singh and B B Srivastava said in their judgment.
