Future of DTH in Indian Scenario ?

[vrutank]

[/b][/i]Opportunities for DTH in India look great. Since cable has penetrated the Indian market in a big way with roughly 40 million C&S homes, it is imperative that in its first few years of operations, paid service of DTH will be focused on a niche market. This niche would basically constitute the rich segment from urban as well as rural areas due to the primary reason of high initial costs for DTH and the associated psychology of people. Since Doordarshan will be starting its novel free-to-air service on Ku band, it is likely to give the prospective private DTH operators tremors and nightmares. The most attractive part of the Doordarshan platform is going to be its low initial cost and no recurring expenditure. Many cable homes are likely to make a shift to its platform and the service is likely to show its full impact in the rural areas where cable service is not possible.

All in all, there exists a tremendous potential for direct to home broadcast in Indian market and it is projected that within three years, there would be around 2.5 million DTH subscribers in India. This figure is likely to increase due to the increase in TV and Cable households and also the growing multiple TV households, which would form a large percentage of the total subscriber base. Since India's population crossed the one billion mark, it is no surprise that satellite operators and programmers world-wide have set their eyes on the world's largest open market for DTH satellite TV services. The growing popularity of TV as a communication medium has resulted in the TV media sectors undergoing a rapid transformation. [i][b]

INDIAN TELEVISION SHOULD BE GLOBALISED....WE SHOULD HAVE CHANNELS FOR ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE...WHEN WE HAVE PERMITTED FASHION TV AND MTV, WHY CANNOT WE PERMIT PLAYBOY TV, HOT SPICE, AND RENTV? LET THEM WHO ARE INTERESTED WATCH THEM BY PAYING HIGHER SUBSCRIPTION RATES ---OF COURSE, WE HAVE THE ADDRESSABLE SYSTEM THROUGH WHICH WE CAN LOCK AND PREVENT ACCESS TO ADULT CHANNELS BY MINORS-----CENSORSHIP IS APPLICABLE ONLY TO LOCAL CABLE TV AND NOT TO ADDRESSABLE SYSTEMS---OR ELSE, WE SHOULD VOTE FOR A FUTURE GOVT WHICH LIBERALISES THE ADULT VIEWING...HA HA
