Hope TS would allow Star to give feed to D2H....otherwise TS may want to become sole UHD provider........

I think STAR always offer their channels first to other DTHs before TS
SS HD channels were launched first on d2h

When TS showcased S/F's of FIFA world cup for select group of audience, entire cost of content was equally shared b/w Sony SIX and Tata Sky

Don't think only STAR paying for everything ICC also needs to share the bare of UHD transmission. Also other Countries broadcasters will paid the broadcasting rights to ICC and STAR so even if they don't provide UHD feed to d2h STAR will loose nothing.
Why would ICC bear?

And I am talking about budget for India. And there isn't many 4K operators across the globe. They are few. Infact if Tata sky and d2h will launch 4K channels on their platform, they would be leaders in the world.

IndianMascot Bro. Why would ICC bear?

Every Board including ICC shares the additional cost of technique used in the Tournament. Technology like DRS and now UHD. Today every Sports Broadcaster own the basic technology of Speedometer, Hawk eye and HD Camera. Its depends on how a particular board wants the match to be telecast. BCCI always quarrel to have DRS system because then they needs start investing on the techniques like Hot Spot, Sneechometer, Ball tracker and all that. Since STAR SPORTS don't own this things as they hardly produces any Cricket matches they appoint all this in a lease. If ICC wants the production in UHD then ICC also have to pay if its only STAR SPORTS then only they will shel out the amount. Currently DRS is applied in ICC events then ICC will jointly paid with STAR SPORTS for the additional technology if they want something extra.

And I am talking about budget for India. And there isn't many 4K operators across the globe. They are few. Infact if Tata sky and d2h will launch 4K channels on their platform, they would be leaders in the world.

Its about history and moving with technology, last World Cup was first ever WC to be broadcasted in HD many thought the same but now its become need for a time. Just like India, England, Australia, SA too might broadcast in UHD and if ICC wants to extend the Broadcasting in non cricket popular country. Its about reach and show the World the Cricket World is not small event just like Football.
