Astro subsidiary sued for RM1.3b over B.yond box

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 — A RM1.3 billion lawsuit was filed today against Ananda Krishnan’s Astro subsidiary for breaching a “non-disclosure agreement” by a local company, pertaining to the use of its rain fade technology in the satellite television operator’s B.yond set top boxes.

The suit was filed by AV Asia Sdn Bhd against Measat Broadcast Networking System Sdn Bhd (MBNS), Astro’s subsidiary which enjoys an exclusive licence with the operator for satellite transmission.

AV Asia claims in its suit that MBNS had breached a mutual non-disclosure agreement with the private company over its technology to reduce rain fade.

Rain fade refers to the absorption of satellite or radio signals by rain or snow.

Astro’s signals are frequently interrupted by rain.

AV Asia’s suit was filed today at the High Court here by lawyer Ravi Sodhi.

Ravi said his client had entered into the mutual non-disclosure agreement with MBNS, prior to negotiating a commercial agreement on technology solution on rain fade.

“Rain Fade is a phenomenon that occurs in tropical countries, when satellite signals are disrupted by rain,” said Ravi.

He said his client had commissioned Japanese company MASPRO to utilise its research and development facilities to find a solution to rain fade.

However he said through tender documents issued by Measat or Astro his client learnt that the non-disclosure agreement was breached.

“The first defendant used the plaintiffs confidential information to launch the Astro Byond high definition product,” he said.

AV Asia named Tele System Elecronics (M) Sdn Bhd as second defendants.

Ravi said the second defendants were the current provider of satellite dishes to MBNS.

The company’s statement of claim also described Astro Byond as a “scam product”.

Consumers are required to install a new decoder and a new satellite dish for a month for a monthly payment of RM20 to received the HD programmes.

However the plaintiffs are alleging that MBNS knew that a new satellite dish was not required for the HD service but the information was withheld from their customers.

They also allegedly withheld from their customers that the new satellite dish, made with the plaintiff confidential information, had a built in rain fade solution.

Ravi said the company’s claim of RM1.34 billon is based on “loss of potential profits”.

The figure was calculated based on the 7.3 million subscribers which MBNS is targeting to get by 2020 as well as the estimated pre-tax profits of each satellite dish at RM183.84.

Ravi said they had attempted to settle the matter with MBNS but had reached an impasse.

“We are disappointed at how MBNS handled the situation,” said AV Asia chief executive officer V.Vijayakumar.

The issue are with the dishes. No wonder they needed to change the dishes when we switched to b.yond. We can keep our existing 'new' dishes, they are trying to prevent ASTRO from giving out new ones.

As such, AV Asia claimed it had suffered loss and damage as a result of being unable to commercialise its dishes.

The plaintiff is seeking RM1.3bil in damages for loss of potential commercialisation and RM4.41mil in damages for research and development.

It is also seeking an injunction to restrain Measat from further supplying its customers any satellite dishes.
