THEIR VISUAL SERVICE IS FINE… BUT ADMINSTRATION /CUSTOMER SERVICE IS PATHETIC…. SO A LOSS IS LIKELY TO OCCUR.
DTH operators are keeping monthly subscription for their lowest bundle related to average cable TV subscriptions in non-CAS areas. As such they are operating with a 'budgeted loss' . Hence posting losses is not revealing any reflections on business. They should convey to stake holders as to what is the critical subscribar base at which a break even will be achieved and what is fare monthly subscription at which they will not be running in loss. What is that figure …. Rs 300/-, Rs 400/- or Rs 500/- per month? If DTH is a service superior to Cable TV, then while adding so many customers why are they in loss. People should have provided them with land slide churn.
