Why this interest in DTH? I have joined as a Reliance customer because I needed their unlimited calling facility. So far, selling their multimedia enabled handsets would allow them to leverage their cross media holdings to reach out to a ready pool of customers.

DTH remains another of their pipe dreams; it would be interesting to watch them battle it out for the customer’s wallets.
