We'll pay for encryption - Indian board, Nimbus

Well, I am not sure whats happening as this sounds more funny than anything else. Nimbus and BCCI have offered to bear the expenses of encryption of signal for Doordarshan. This follows the recent problem between DD and Nimbus over sharing of live feed. In a temporary arrangement, Door Darshan telecast deffered feeds for the last series between India and Sri Lanka after the court intervened.

Read the story here on cricinfo.

I think it has been a long time now that this issue has been pending. Everytime some controversy rises on the feed sharing issue and a temporary arrangement is reached at the eleventh hour for one series after the matter is dragged to court. Its high time the rules were clearly defined.
