BCCI eye’s SMS business in India

The BCCI today said that it would ask all telecom operators who provide scores and match updates through SMS to enter into commercial agreements. If telecom companies are offering SMS free, we have no issue. If they are charging for this, then the information is the property of the board. We should get appropriate share of revenue from it,"

On any playing day the estimate SMS business in India to generate Rs 20-22 crore and the board expects Rs 8-10 crore a day from it. Legal notices were sent by the board last week to the concerned telecom companies, including Bharti Televentures, Reliance Infocomm and Idea, questioning their circulation of scores without its approval. "We will be constrained to take appropriate legal action and take the matter to its logical conclusion," a BCCI counsel said.
