TDSAT asks Eenadu TV to sign agreement with Kakinada MSO
NEW DELHI: Noting that Andhra Pradesh based multi system operator (MSO) Sri Maruthi Digital Network cannot be described as a fly-by-night operator, the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Arbitration Tribunal (TDSAT) has asked Eenadu Television to send its representative to the Kakinada area from where the MSO operates to hold a joint sample survey of the petitioner’s SLR.
Sri Maruthi counsel Deenadayalayan presented to the Tribunal a copy of its application for a Digital Addressable Systems (DAS) licence.
Adjourning the matter for 4 November and noting that Eenadu was prepared to sign an interconnect agreement, the Tribunal said the joint survey should be completed by 20 October.
The parties may then execute the interconnect agreement on the basis of the joint survey report.
The Tribunal said the application by the MSO ‘sufficiently shows that he intends to stay in the business.’
