Gujarat Telelink Private Ltd. (GTPL), a major multi service operator (MSO) holds over 60 % of the cable network market in Gujarat. Recently, it denied to pay an outstanding due amount of 14 crores to ESPN that resulted in the stoppage of broadcasting ESPN and Star- Sports and hence deprived its consumers of the most popular sporting event on earth FIFA World Cup 2010 in spite of consumers paying them proper rental charges. Cable operators always keep giving assurances to its consumers that these mega events will get broadcasted and still they have deprived their consumers from French Open, now FIFA World Cup and if the tussle continues, consumers will be deprived of Wimbledon as well. It is a heartbreak for lakhs of soccer fans in the state, 60, 000 in Ahmedabad itself. Therefore, I sincerely request you to take action against GTPL, end this payment tussle and resume the broadcast of ESPN as soon as possible so that we do not miss the live action of this great event. Whole of Gujarat will be thankful to you.
