In Karnataka,Ever time when there is problem between TN and Karnataka, Tamil Cable Channels and Tamil Movies will become the first victim. 2 days back some organization has called for blocking of all the Tamil channels and movies in Karanataka. But this time they could only block the movies and not the cable channel. The cable operators haven't agreed to block Tamil Channels. I don't think that the cable operators acted towards the nations interest, but its only on behalf of their own interest.
Of the entire Bangalore population, I assume 15-20% are Tamil speaking people. In the past, Cable operators are the only source for the satelite TV, the channels that we view are at their mercy. If they block a channel, we have to wait until the operator brings back the channel. But now we have got DTH. Already DTH is gaining good ground in the country. If the cable operators have blocked Tamil Channels, then most of the Tamil speaking people would have moved to DTH. If we Consider the total Population of Bangalore is around 1C, then at least 10-20L are Tamil speaking people. Even if 50% of them move to DTH, then this will have a huge impact on Cable TV Operators. So all the Tamil Speaking people here should thank DTH.
The lesson that I learnt from this is, in business forget all your sentiments.
