Digital television platforms gaining ground
March 25: Cable television might take a back seat with digital television platforms such as Direct-to-Home (DTH) and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) gaining ground. According to a study conducted by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham), over 28 per cent of an estimated 10-crore cable-television households would migrate to platforms such as DTH and IPTV by 2010.
Players like Tata and Zee have already started testing the waters and many more corporate houses such as Reliance and Bharti are also set to launch their services in the domestic market.
Mr David Godfrey, Director (Operations), NDS, Asia Pacific, told Business Line there is massive growth happening in the DTH sector with the launch of new platforms offering attractive services to the television consumer. He said that mobile TV and IPTV are in their infancy and offer a different set of issues. “The Indian market has the right mechanics for multiple methods of delivery, including digital media such as broadband and mobile. However, the infrastructure is immature when compared to the coverage of DTH and cable in terms of sheer volume, plus the capacity required. This is particularly so with mobile TV where delivery, standardisation and enabling technologies are yet to be made available.”
