At present, there are four foreign payment channel distributors in Bangladesh. Jadu Vision Limited has been doing business in Bangladesh since 2010 as a distributor for Star Group (Star Plus, Star Jalsa, National Geographic, Star Gold and Life OK).
Jadu Vision is owned by Navidul Haque, son of the late Anisul Haque, Mayor of Dhaka North City Corporation.
Kunal Deshmukh, CEO of Jadu Vision Limited, said: “Currently, there are more than 600 legal cable operators in the country, of which a small number of cable operators are trying to prove their dominance by introducing some unwanted problems in different moments “.
Claiming that some operators have created an embarrassing situation on behalf of Star Boycott, Kunal said: “They are not paying huge bills under various pretexts.”
“They are trying to forcibly collect invoices from all Bangladeshi operators through an organization called ‘One Alliance’, which is against trade policy and the law,” he said.
‘We are always interested in solving problems. If any cable operator wants to negotiate only by paying the bill, our door is always open for them.
Asking the Information Minister to address the issue, the Magic Vision official said: “The government should enforce a government-approved universal subscription agreement between cable operators and pay channel providers.” As a result, only operators will be able to do business smoothly and the government will not be deprived of revenue.
