India’s Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (Tdsat) has dismissed sports broadcaster Neo Sports request to immediately disconnect the supply of its channels to direct-to-home operator Tata Sky.
The tribunal comes after Tata Sky argued that it has made payment of Rs 8 million to Neo Sports till August 2008 on the basis of the revised reference-interconnect-offer (RIO) by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India on 1 March, 2008.
Neo Sports argued that since the DTH operator has not signed it should pay the subscription charges as per the old agreement signed by both parties. According to the old agreement, Tata Sky is supposed to pay Rs 32.3 million without interest and Rs 36 million with interest as of 15 September.
In its petition, Tata Sky also alleged that Neo Sports has not given any direct notice to the DTH operator for disconnecting the signals of its channels. However, Neo Sports said that it had issued a public notice dated 12 September in The Indian Express for disconnecting the signals of its channels.
The case has been listed for hearing on 1 October.
