[Arul Selvan]

  With less than five months remaining for the rollout of the 
conditional access system (CAS), the government and broadcasters are 
caught in a chicken and egg situation. The CAS 
stakeholdersbroadcasters, cable operators, multiple service operators 
(MSOs), set-top box manufacturers and consumer groupsdeliberated over

revealing their business plans, the government wanted to know what 
private channels had in mind.
