Sarkar said:First let them start as we are hearing this from long time that pak will have dth service[emoji6]
Sarkar said:@dreambox : How do you get the number 3 ?
As per the image in 1st post bid for license is in Dec 2015. So how can you confirm that there will be only 3 operator ?
dreambox.pk said:maximum time is 1 years from issue of licence and they going to issue licenses in December 2015 if they don't start within timeline license will be cancelled
Sarkar said:Launch of service within 1 year is a very tough job, almost impossible bcoz building sat after that launching it then testing after that contract with broadcasters, train service people to setup equipment in customers house so lots of work to do :dodgy
dreambox.pk said:Many Transponders are available on Paksat almost 80% and more PEMRA has given free hand to use foreign satellite no restriction
Companies just need to lease transponders and start operation
Sarkar said:I seriously doubt that there are enough vacant Ku transponder available in any foreign sat over south east region at this moment :s
dreambox.pk said:Paksat KU transponders are almost empty
ABS 2 75 has many transponders
Asiasat 105 E has many empty transponders
and in Pakistan to start with they only need 3 4 transponders because minimum requirement is dvb-s2 Mpeg4 as mentioned in MOI
there only 150 SD channels in Pakistan including 3 4 HD channels
Sarkar said:Then good news hya
But Why ABS, Asiasat is wasting billions of money on satellite in space without using it as Sat has only limited life time(10-15 years). I think that means they are not empty(may be not for broadcasting purpose) Or in case few are really empty they are reserved for back up purpose :k
