The Indian DTH market is going to
get Bigger with the country’s largest mobile services company Airtel ready to launch their own DTH service.
This will be the second high profile launch in the DTH market after the Reliance
Group led by Anil Ambani launched their Big
TVDTH services just a few months ago. The still developing Indian DTH
market is unique in terms of quality and price, thus it throws up unique
challenges. But in less than five years it is expected to enter 28 million
homes across the country. Airtel wants to be ready for the DTH boom and this is
the right time to enter the market.
In what is an unprecedented
development for Indian corporations and world film production a historic and
possibly ground breaking deal between Anil Ambani’s Reliance Group and Steven

2.4 Billion Dollar movie company Dreamworks
has been around for the past few weeks. But a recent story that the group is
also interested in buying the English football club Newcastle United indicates that the younger Ambani has no qualms
about entering into unchartered territories.
