Sun Distribution & Andhra MSO to mutually examine LCO subscriber base

NEW DELHI: Multi system operators (MSOs) Sun Distribution Services and Andhra Pradesh’s Vaji Digital Network will jointly examine the latter’s local cable operator (LCO) subscriber base before the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Arbitration Tribunal (TDSAT) examines the issues between them.

Both parties have informed the Tribunal that they decided on a joint inspection in a mutual meeting last week.

The two MSOs also entered into an interim provisional agreement in connection with the signals.

Listing the matter for 22 September, TDSAT said that it had framed issues in this matter on 18 August and directed Vaji to file its affidavit in evidence within three weeks time.    

Earlier in May, Sun was directed by the Tribunal to enter into interim and provisional interconnect agreements to supply signals to Vaji Digital Network in Rajahmundry, which is not a Digital Addressable System (DAS) area.
