The KSCOA had organised a meeting of last mile operators (LMOs) attached to Hathway in Bengaluru to discuss the implications of digital addressable system (DAS) for LMOs and their subscribers. During the meeting, the LMOs had poured their pent-up grievances against Hathway. The LMOs also demanded that the DAS regulations be implemented in full. Otherwise, the whole purpose of digitisation will be rendered futile. The KSCOA also decided to approach Hathway officials with a memorandum of their demands on 3 July. “And that same day, all Hathway signals will be switched off across Bangalore as a mark of protest,” KSCOA president Patrick Raju said in a statement. The KSCOA alleged that after digitising the whole of Bengaluru, Hathway was not forthcoming with the implementation of packaging, the interconnect agreement with the LMOs and taxes to be paid to the government. The KSCOA also rued the fact that the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) had hiked non-addressable tariff by 27.5 per cent in two instalments. It said the hike was against the interest of the subscribers.
