Lack of Capacity Impeding DTH Progress in India

摘要

With well over 40 million direct-to-home (DTH) subscribers, India is perhaps the most exciting DTH market on the planet. A number of the top technology decision makers talk about their future technology investments, as well as their increasing need for satellite capacity in this "wild west" of pay-TV markets. India has a population of more than a billion people, multiple languages and a developing economy. At the start of the last decade, DishTV had the DTH market pretty much to itself; however, with a number of new entrants in recent years, such as Tata Sky, Bharti Airtel with Airtel TV, and Reliance Communications with BiGTV among others, the marketplace is now getting crowded.
