Article Star’s RIO policy is a positive development to increase ARPU

when was that? i dont remember but d2h must have hiked because it is/was adding channels at the regular basis.

Couple of months ago when DTH industry decides to hike Rs. 10 and made starter pack cost Rs. 230. Every DTH runs company of their own and if dish wants other to hike base pack price and to ask raise the revenue then its up to other DTH whether they wants it or not.

 

[Technoglitch]

you dont get my point, if dish issue a diktat to hike the price and remember other dths stayed away from dish when it insisted to form association on content deal.

 

[DashMajor]

But again how can dish force anyone to increase the base pack price ? Recently Airtel increases the base price so do we think its happened because of dishtv ? And which DTH not wants to increase its revenue in this competitive era.

 

[Technoglitch]

ofcourse all wants and dish being the leader it can force anyone

Good that Dishtv is praising Star's RIO policy........don't know whether Zee will ever dare to go RIO in future......

Star's RIO policy may work for few channels but it will be interesting to see how channels like Fx & Fox Crime would survive....may be with the help from other channels.......?

ZEE will never opt and if the moves to RIO terms then people will get the reasons to rid from ZEE right now and even in future no broadcaster except STAR can implement this policy.

So it will be only STAR play........No one would ever dare to go this way.....
which would benefit viewers........
