Trai fallout: DTH to get channels at lower cost
MUMBAI: Broadcasters will soon have to offer to the direct-to-home (DTH) service providers their channels at a price which is at least 50 per cent less than what they give to cable networks in non-Cas (conditional access system) areas.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has warned that it would step in to regulate the tariff if broadcasters do not comply with the pricing that would in the regulator's terms push forward digitalisation.

I think Pemji should be concentrating on how to pump in more of his money into Wipro, so that it can withstand the slowdown in the IT industry, instead of buying so many Dish TV shares!

subhash chandra better get ready for some BIG TIME competition.  RCom set to launch DTH service BIGTV
Thursday, March 27, 2008
(New Delhi)
The
war to carry television to your home has started in earnest with the
telecom giants Reliance Communications and Airtel ready with their DTH
plans and expect to storm the market by May this year.Reliance
Communications, which is launching the service under the BIG TV brand
has even started trial runs in Mumbai. The company says it will invest
Rs 2000 crore in its DTH venture and is ready with its entry strategy. The
DTH market in India is already at 6 million with Tata sky and Dish TV
being the major players but Reliance says its service will be cheaper
and since its using MPEG 4 a new technology. It
will be able to provide almost 250 channels, the highest by any DTH
player. The company is even talking to broadcasters on HDTV
transmission and just like Airtel it will use the distribution network
of its parent company. Reliance is
targetting a million subscribers in the first year of operation and
will be concentrating on smaller cities to boost its subscriber numbers. source:NDTVprofit

DTH players wont reduce tariff rates inspite of cut in license rates and broadcasters reducing fees for their channels. I am shocked to hear that DTH operators pay 56% of their revenues as taxes.

It should help Dish TV india to achieve breakeven little faster which is expected to be by 2009. But considering BIGTV foray into the DTH spece it looks like difficult though..

I am interpreting proposed rights issue as negative representing promoters' failure to raise money from other means.
What do you guys think?
