World Cup streaming remains free on Hotstar as Disney Star gets a big win, source says

In a major win for Disney Star, the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal has allowed the broadcaster to go ahead with free streaming of ICC cricket World Cup on their OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar.

In September, the All India Digital Cable Federation (AIDCF) had urged TDSAT to instruct Star India to discontinue the free cricket streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. They contended that customers serviced by their members also expect to access live cricket content without any charges.
