    Chapter-1 Industry Profile 1 1.0 INDUSTRY PROFILE 1.1 Introduction Direct to Home (DTH) is a distribution platform for multichannel TV programmers on (high frequency of 11.7 to 14.55 Gigahertz) by using a satellite system which transmits signals directly to subscriber premises. The term predates DBS satellites and is often used in reference to services carried by lower power satellites which required larger dishes. 1.1.1 How DTH Work:- Following are the simplified steps on how DTH works: 1. Tata Sky uplinks all channels from broadcasters to its satellite (INSAT 4A). 2. The satellite sends these channels in digital format to the minidish fixed outside your home. 3. The minidish relays the channels to the digicomp which decodes the channels and sends them to your television, giving you an incomparable television screening experience with DVD quality picture and CD quality sound. 2 1.2 DTH INDUSTRY IN INDIA 1.2.1 DTH Players in India In earlier days there was only one TV channel in India the “Doordarshan”, Channel doordarshan was owned and operated by government of India.

  • Bridging the Last Mile: an Exploration of Ict Policy Through Bharatnet
    BRIDGING THE LAST MILE: AN EXPLORATION OF ICT POLICY THROUGH BHARATNET Deepti Bharthur A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2015 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Shannon Orr Graduate Faculty Representative Oliver Boyd-Barrett Clayton Rosati © 2015 Deepti Bharthur All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor India is brimming with new optimism about its economic growth potential and ability to enhance its status. Democratic and demographic dividends play a crucial role in its aspiration. As a key IT player with regard to the services and allied sectors its transformation from telecom as a luxury to appreciable levels of teledensity is a narrative in itself. Its tryst with harnessing communication for development integrates the modernization approaches with all the consequent set of problems and issues. The liberal framework in which telecom reforms were initiated have spread the vision of modern handheld communication devices as harbingers of empowerment, entitlement and entertainment. Connectivity and access in the last mile is no doubt a significant variable and required a major policy articulation and push by the government. It was against this reality shared by many other nations that incremental articulations for broadband access in keeping with the vision of creating an information society were made. Through a historical institutional analysis, this study unravels the pattern leading
