HELP What's going on with Hathway & MSM?

[Dhwanish]

Friends, what is the actual progress regarding the addition of MSM channels on Hathway platform?
We consumers are getting really frustrated by this feud.
Are they ever gonna add the channels in their base packs?
Or the channels will be available on a-la carte basis? If so, then what are the prices?
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

As of now deal is not done between MSM and Hathway and it looks like Hathway doesn't want to renew the deal as stated in one of their article

as per trai - what i did read in late august - all channels must b provided atleast via a la carte route.
so msm or hathway cannot withdraw any channel from their platforms

Great News. DTH companies will be very happy.

Hathway is on a verge to get doomed i will not be surprised if they close their services too

Broadcasters always hate cable tv as there is less transparency and they don't get proper subscription revenue from them

In next 5 years we might see most of the big broadcasters channels on a-la-carte only

In next 5 years we might see most of the big broadcasters channels on a-la-carte only

then 80 % indians will stop watching tvs or else ll move to dd channels.

yup, most of them would be in ala carte or channels clubed together.
