IndiaCast UTV CEO Anuj Gandhi hits hard on Dish TV and explains why broadcasters are hand-holding the MSOs in the short run. He also talks about the future nature of long- term content deals and how the industry should focus on lifting ARPUs.
IndiaCast UTV chief executive officer Anuj Gandhi is showing how hard he can fight. When Dish TV made the Disney and TV18 group of channels available only a la carte to their subscribers, he was quick to take up the challenge. “We will not pay carriage fee to the direct-to-home (DTH) operator. We will not buckle under any kind of pressure,” he says.
