Black Sea Sat Ceased Subscriber Service
Communications company B.S. Sat has ceased its relationship with subscribers, as well as contracts with certain televisions. According to the deputy director of the company, Mamuka Tskitishvili, B.S. Sat is currently undergoing reorganization process, after which the company’s only activity will be putting TV companies on satellite. B.S. Sat had around 8 thousand subscribers, and the license fee in Tbilisi was GEL 15, and GEL 10 in the regions.
Tskitishvili denies the rumors regarding B.S. Sat’s bankruptcy, yet he admits that financial problems were one of the reasons behind the decision to break relationship with the subscribers.
B.S. Sat has been utilizing big space it bought on the Turksat satellite for about a year now, helping Georgian channels go on satellite. So far the company has been offering two kinds of service to the channels, first- open distribution, when everyone having a satellite dish could receive the channel for free once it’s been put on satellite, and the second type implied closed distribution where only B.S. Sat subscribers had an opportunity to receive the channel put on satellite. The subscribers were paying the monthly fees.
Mamuka Tskitishvili says they will cancel contracts with only those channels that have been going on satellite just for B.S. Sat subscribers.
“The TV companies that we’ve been putting on satellite for open-air broadcasting will, of course, remain. But the companies that we only had in our package will no longer go on satellite, as we won’t have subscribers. We’ll serve both Georgian and foreign companies,”- Tskitishvili reported to Media.Ge tender
According to him, if a broadcaster applies for open-air distribution and offers the appropriate payment, in this case they may put it on satellite if there is a free space.
GNCC member Sopho Britanchuk has made a statement regarding the satellite broadcasting a number of times, and commissioned the broadcasting regulation department to launch probe into the issue.
Britanchuk said that a whole number companies are getting a satellite broadcasting license, then spread their signal with the aid of B.S. Sat. However, only the subscribers of those companies can watch them. Nonetheless, such companies address cable companies for distribution with the Must Carry principle.
As prescribed in the law on broadcasting, a cable company has a liability to connect to its network all general broadcasters that can’t spread their signal through satellite.
Mamuka Tskitishvili states that the given recommendation of the commission is totally unrelated to their decision, and that they have had no contacts with the institution.
Tskitishvili denies the information suggesting B.S. went bankrupt, though confirms that financial problems were one of the factors accounting for their breach of relationship with subscribers.
“The company shifts toward the pure communications services, so it won’t have packages, but will have services instead. TV companies that we’ve been putting on satellite for open-air broadcasting will, of course, remain. But those that only were in our package, will no longer be put on satellite, as we quit packages. We’ll readily cooperate with TV companies if they are ready to pay and if we have a free space on the satellite.
