The MSOs are moving into Mysore. Zeenext.com, the cable ISP from the Zee Network stable, launched its Internet over cable TV services in Mysore on Wednesday (19 September).
The service, provided by Zee group MSO Siticable, is already up and running in Bangalore and has managed to attract a huge chunk of subscribers – both corporate and individual – in the garden city, a company release says.
Since Siti Cable is the major cable TV player in Mysore, Zeenext is targeting a maximum number of internet over cable subscribers in Mysore.

The Net is being delivered over one Siticable headend that covers all of Mysore, the source says. Siticable reaches more than 50,000 subscribers in Mysore so that will be the subscriber base targeted in the initial stages at least.
