“The DTH market stands at six million households now of the 125 million television viewing homes in India,” said Arun Kapoor, President, Reliance Communication. “This number will double in a year and we will hold a 40 per cent market share.”

“The market is set to expand as bigger players come into the fray,” said Kapoor. “There is a huge opportunity, as less than five per cent of all TV homes in India are DTH.” BIG TV said it plans to launch DTH services with 100,000 retail outlets across 6,500 Indian towns, in addition it will open 2,000 exclusive stores
