Cable operators in Delhi set up an industry association

Cable operators in Delhi have joined hands to establish the Cable Operators Welfare Federation. At present, over 16 registered associations of Delhi cable operators are part of the Federation.   
The association aims to protect the interest of the smaller last mile cable operators (LMO). It also intends to ensure that government does not ignore LMOs while implementing digital addressable system. AS Kohli from west Delhi is the Chairman and Surjeet Singh is the President of the newly formed association.
The federation is likely to send a memorandum to information and broadcasting minister, Arun Jaitley, seeking a common tariff by the multi-system operators in Delhi, as per a media report. Furthermore, the memorandum is expected to point out that while the MSOs receive carriage fee, the LCOs should also get a share of this. It would also emphasis that LCOs should also be paid a share by broadcasters of pay channels who are earning huge revenue through advertisements.
