Back to Telecom! Is Bharti planning DTH foray?

Is Bharti Televentures planning to enter the DTH market?

The pointers are all there despite their denials. As a consolidated operator- i.e. mobile telephony business, broadband through DSL and their own manufacturing set up for equipments, this is distinct possibility. They might hook up content via tie ups with the private operators, make a hullaballo about it and earn handsome profits.

They have started manufacturing their own set top boxes; initially they might be sold to upcoming operators and later they might just decide to branch out on their own.

By current estimates, there are roughly 80+ million subscribers to the Cable TV- given the fact that Entertainment sells. In a way, this is a huge captive market. The operators are going all out to tie up with various PC vendors to be able to make a dent in their flat sales graphs. Yet it is clear that there is clear lack of “killer application”. Bharti, is anyway, at the forefront to demand spectrum for 3G services, based on the premise that there would large number of post paid customers to sign up for the same. Streaming Internet would sound fanciful anyway.

Then Mr Sunil Bharti is rich and awash with cash. He decided, initially to bid for Airport modernisation- he burnt his fingers in the labyrithine files that are so beloved of the bosses up. Given their penchant to talk through media- it was clear that the government wasn’t really upfront about it all.

Direct to Home platform would assure these operators of a steady stream of revenue in the future- they may even be able to co-brand their services. For example, with a DTH, an Airtel landline free! Well, perhaps it would take someone like Sachin to convince us about the merits for signing up with Airtel.

    Hi Guys,
    I have seen some comments, where customers are asking for better comparision between dishtv and tatasky.
    I have both dishtv and tatasky, and based on my experience i am giving you the difference and better option to choose:
    First: Number of channels are more in dishtv (178) and tatasky (120)
    Second: More number of regional channels for all genres. Tatasky lacks in this
    Third: More options in Movie on demand and also choice to see hollywood Movie as well…but Tatasky lacks in this option
    Fourth: Cost per movie for movie on demand is less in dishtv Rs.40+taxes for Hindi and Rs.50+taxes for English…..where as tatasky charge Rs.75 for Hindi…No english option…Tata sky lacks here as well.
    Fifth: Economical: Dishtv is more economical then tatasky about Rs.1000 also having offer for five months free…but tatasky donot have any offer and are more costlier.
    Sixth: Harware of both are same quality.
    Seventh: Picture and sound quality is same almost.
    Eight: Customer service of dishtv is coming up and having slightly better then tatasky.

    These are solely my view on both services might be yours are different from this as well

  34. Arun says:

    Dear Maddy,
    Just for your information, you cannot use dishtv recharge voucher to tatasky and vice-versa its same like you can not use airtel recharge voucher in Hutch.
