Mumbai, Sep 01: In the absence of appropriate directives from the government and the central implementation task force, cable operators in south Mumbai today decided to maintain status quo in regard to conditional access system and did not switch off the pay channels for the viewers. Hathway spokesperson Anil Bhan told a news agency that though they have implemented CAS at Chennai, in south Mumbai, where it was initially supposed to have been implemented, they have not switched off and were airing all the pay channels while "waiting for official directives."
