Is HBO giving up on its India market?

Indian customers wont pay premium its a price sensitive market. Probably in next 3-5 years our audience will be ready to pay premium. I also think their strategy to launch premium SD channels has backfired coz SD customers wont pay Rs 79 for 2 channels. They should hve launched it in HD only. Now they have to pay carriage fees for SD channels without much of a customer base.

agreed wid u.

I think they cud shift from being premium to being normal ad-driven chnl.

Rs.45 for 2 chnls is gud, and generate revenue from ads.

Showing ads on its premium channels is against HBO's brand culture so they wont show ads. Lets see what strategy STAR adopts
