That’s what I am saying. Jio setup box can never take place of these duopolist companies.
Good Share
This deal talks started even before Jio started making rounds. Videocon wanted to hive off this business to reduce debt I believe. With some random news they come across, people want to deduce something else these days. In fact some of the lesser known main stream media are doing this too, so us common people trying to make conclusions is nothing big

Hello, sir. I have read many of your posts and thoughts in DD and I truly appreciate your knowledge. For first time I get a chance to interact with you directly.

Yes, it’s true.
Sources tell CNBC-TV18 it is likely to be a cash and share-swap deal and will be used to pay off lenders of debt-laden Videocon D2H, who have been skeptical over its ability to service the debt.

Disappointed, reading this, when it comes from a mature and intelligent person like you.
How can you say that people intentionally want to deduce something else? Can’t a person has its own and different thinking despite being it wrong or irrelevant?
I know its your view, I respect it, but can’t agree with it.
This deal talks started even before Jio started making rounds.
Are you sure? Can you give me a link or source which talks about this deal, dated before July 2016? or even 2015? Because I can give you links to exact opposite of what you are talking.
Or if you got some information from inside sources or from Dish Tv or Videocon office, months before came in news,(like happened with me earlier here ) then please forgive me. I don’t have any inside source nor any relation with above mentioned offices or staff. 
I was talking in general terms about people deducing and linking everything as a JIO effect. Just like you don’t agree with me I too don’t have to agree (have no qualms about it) with everyone making deductions is all what I meant. I don’t stop anyone from making/giving opinions and I have told about it in many of my posts because it is “none of my business”. Also it would be for everyone’s good that someone be corrected if they are wrong. Why do we have to let each other be what we are when we know something has to be criticized so that we correct it.
I am definitely not talking about the corporate level dealings. But how many of us knew JIO TV and its hype before they started out giving free unlimited internet? And how many of us now have stopped dish services with a not so clear JIO Tv services? I remember reading about it way back in June or July or even august (sorry not good with dates or finding the links like our great Spock) but I am sure they must have started these talks way before when the deal was to the extent of 1 Billion.
I agree JIO telecom services have disrupted the telecom industry to certain extent (but with their current service I don’t see them going anywhere) but they haven’t done even 10% to disrupt the dish tv services. By the way I am a common guy with common (aam) friends and if I was privy to such information would definitely have made good money in insider trading (would have no reason to be here on this website)

As I told JIO TV was a non-event when the deal was even conceived. A service would be considered as a threat only when people migrate to the new service from incumbent players. Some article which was written way back in 2014 which many wouldn’t even know (at least I didn’t know about JIO until the free unlimited started doing rounds) wouldn’t quality as a threat for such a deal to take place. If you want to prove that such trivial article caused the deal to happen, I rest my case.
Edit- Just now I realized that you are the OP of this thread:-} Didn’t mean to offend you but I still feel that JIO effect tag was unnecessary/irrelevant (at least from an experienced dimer like you). Cheers
Matlab har jagah Jio walo ka hi effect hota hai kya ??
