Mysuru: Your television screens will go blank between 8 am and 10 pm tomorrow (Jan.24) with Local Cable Operators (LCOs) threatening a strike to protest the tariff regime to be rolled out on Feb.1. Cable operators are not happy with the revenue-sharing formula prescribed by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and they will switch off cable feeds across South India tomorrow.
Patrick Raju, President, Karnataka Cable TV Operators Association, said: “The new regulation by TRAI is leaving the local cable operators in the dark. There is no proper ground work done to implement the new rules and this is not going to benefit the local cable operators or the consumers.”
