piece "Dual illumination not a workable proposition"
has really set the ball rolling. Amidst all the confusion,
this new "formula" doing the rounds called the
soft rollout plan looks more like a plan to soften the
mess that the government has got itself into ever since
I&B minister Ravi Shankar Prasad gave a commitment
to the world at large that CAS would deliver all channels
(including the pay driven ones) to the subscriber within
Rs 200.
The last month or so has seen the government, instead
of applying itself to the nitty gritty of getting the
CAS machine rolling in terms of how it is actually to
be managed, playing pricing officer with pathetic results.
And now, while the government insists that the CAS
rollout is on schedule, it says it is studying various
options to make things easy for consumers, who should
not face a blackout of their favourite channels post
14 July.
All eyes will be on the two important meetings scheduled
today!
