airtel waiting for ses-8 satellite

[srikanth26]

No ways..
SES9 launch date is 30th dec 2015, which means another 3 years almost.

In another 3 years time, India will de-throne the US as world largest DTH country, which means 100s of new channels will be launched.
As digitization is rampant, every company wants to launch their channel in India.

Its just starting of 2013, and we already have HBO Hits+defined, Jukebox, clubbin TV, Rock Tv, dancetrippin tv enter into India....so just imagine how many more channels will launch in next 3 years.

Airtel only has capacity of abt 60-65 SD channels.

you sure give me more details
