Cable Operators in Tamil Nadu have decided to observe one day token fast on February 28 in all district headquarters protesting the introduction of online subscription payment system.
It has been known that hundreds of telegrams have been sent to Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa by cable TV operators in protest of the system and also on the appointment of agents for collection of monthly subscriptions.
The Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable Television Corporation recently issued a notification extending to the subscribers the facility of online payment of monthly subscription of Rs 70.
Local Cable Television Operators (LCO) are against it, saying they would be affected as they may not get their share of Rs 20 per connection from the Government in time.
However some cable television users have welcomed the move, saying they were paying Rs 100 a month as subscription as against the Government's announcement of Rs 70 per month. |
