DTH Space Hotting Up

Direct-to-home space is going to see some action soon. Dish TV, a DTH venture in which Zee Telefilms has a 20 per cent stake, is expected to have reached approximately one million subscriptions by March 2006. It had 7,50,000 pay-TV subscriptions in December 2005. Tata Sky, a $500-million DTH joint venture between the Tatas and News Corp, plans to launch services after June. It’s targeting around one million subscriptions by this year. DTH ventures from Reliance and Sun TV are also likely to come to the market over the next year or two. [Hindu Business Line; Via Sify]
