DEN may have RIO agreement with ZEEL: TDSAT

Hearing the dispute between Zee and DEN over non-payment of dues, the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) has permitted the multi system operator (MSO) DEN Networks to have a reference interconnect offer (RIO) deal with broadcaster ZEEL from 1 February.


TDSAT ordered the MSO to pay admitted dues of Rs. 23.50 crore by 9 February. DEN filed an affidavit claiming that the dues covering the month of January 2018 are approximately Rs 23.50 crore. However, ZEEL has claimed that the outstanding is Rs. 43.20 crores for the period including January 2018.

TDSAT added the issue of outstanding dues will be dealt separately and will be further examined after receipt of the report from the Mediation Centre. The tribunal also said DEN’s request to enter into RIO agreement with ZEEL after the BECIL report found the MSO’s system is concerned to be compliant with TRAI regulations.
