MUMBAI: In the Hathway Cable & Datacom versus Star India case, the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) has asked all the multi system operators (MSOs) in the DAS I and II areas to sign the Reference Interconnect Offer (RIO) by 10 November 2014.
Failing to comply with the deadline, Star India will disconnect its services from MSOs who do not sign the RIO deal.
Hathway, which was directed to implement the RIO by the Tribunal had filed a case stating that other MSOs were not following the RIO deal. Subsequently, TDSAT had asked MSOs Den Networks and Siti Cable to implead into the case. The case then came up for hearing on 30 October and has been disposed off without the need for any impleading.
