Hanoi Department of Information and Communications has directed Saigon Tourist Cable Television (SCTV), cable television provider in Vietnam, to stop its analogue signals on Hanoi’s telecom network by August 1 in certain districts in the capital city, Hanoi – as SCTV is offering analogue services without approval and for breaching its contract with Broadcasting and Television Service Company (BTS).
As per the contract signed with BTS in 2011, SCTC had to offer its paid digital TV services in Hoang Mai, Ha Dong and Thanh Oai districts. Later, in March 2014, SCTV expanded its services to eight other districts. And according to reports, SCTV is offering analogue services in eight districts.
Also, the company’s contracts in Hoang Mai, Ha Dong and Thanh Oai districts include both analogue and digital cable TV services, which violates its contract with BTS and its granted permit. SCTV is also likely to be charged with an administrative fine.
