Cable operator SBB increased monthly subscription fee for cable television in Serbia on March 1st by 4.2 – 33.85%, and the increase in prices has also been announced by other cable television operators.

The new price of cable TV services of SBB, which is the dominant operator in the market, will amount to 745 RSD (VAT included) in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Vrbas, Kula, Požarevac, Novi Pazar, Trstenik, Vrnjačka banja, Arilje, Ivanjica and Kragujevac.

The Republic Telecommunications Agency (Ratel) has allowed SBB to increase the price of subscription fee in these cities to 745 RSD on November 1st, 2009. So far, SBB’s prices have ranged between 455 and 715 RSD.

Operator PTT has informed its users in Belgrade, Novi Sad and Smederevo that their cable TV costs will be increased to 578 RSD in February. The prices have also been increased by "Kopernikus", while "Radijus vektor", "KDS Novi Sad" and "Ikom" have announced the increase in prices.
