If the IBF is meeting on CAS, can Mumbai's powerful cable TV lobby be far behind? Well not really. IndusInd Media & Communications executive vice-chairman R. T. Hingorani has called a meeting of cable ops in Mumbai's Aarey Gardens at 4 pm on 17 May.

Amongst those slated to attend include: Hathway's K. Jayaram, Siticable's N. Malik, WinCable's J.S Kohli, 7-Star Cable's Shameem Shaikh, and Rajesh Cable Network's Paresh Thakkar.

In the note being circulated amongst them Hingorani says the meeting will be to "work out strategies on a common platform. There are a few points that need to be clarified among ourselves."
