Indian Carriers Commit to FTTH
at least two major Indian operators plan to deploy Fibre to the Home networks over the coming years.
In his keynote address to the 100 or so senior operator executives who attended Light Reading's inaugural industry seminar in New Delhi, Rakesh Kumar, VP of Broadband Planning for Bharti Airtel Ltd said there was "no point in building copper access networks any more", and that the operator, which provides fixed broadband services in 94 cities in India, would be deploying GPON from now on. Kumar said the operator had issued an RFP for a trial network, and expected to push ahead with a broader FTTH deployment later in 2009.
However according to thevarticle by Ray Le Maistre of Light Reading, Bharti Airtel isn't the only Indian operator with high-speed fixed access plans. BSNL, which currently has about 2.4 million DSL broadband customers, has been considering PON deployments for a few years and has now decided to invest in an extensive deployment.
In his keynote address, Shri R. K. Agarwal, director of planning and new services at BSNL, said the carrier is committed to a FTTH strategy that will see the technology rolled out in 100 cities across the country.

ESPN Star Sports to telecast Champions League Twenty20 in HD
SOURCE: ESPN Star Sports (ESS) is awarded the long-term global television production partner for the Champions League T20.As part of the production set-up, ESS will telecast the tournament in High Definition (HD) format, making it the first HD telecast for any sporting event in the Indian subcontinent.Earlier, ESS had won the exclusive global commercial rights of the league for 10 years at $975 million.
ESS will use 34 cameras at each venue to cover all the matches. It will include many angles like aerial views with Fly cameras, a boundary side field camera to showcase fielding and a new mid-wicket camera position to highlight running between the wickets that will deliver another new viewing dimension to viewers."This is the highest number of cameras used to cover any multi venue cricket tournament to date," ESS said in a statement.
To capture every moment of the fast paced action both on and off the field, ESS will use Super Slo Motion cameras at each match, player and umpire microphones as well as new dugout and crowd cameras to capture the reactions and emotions off the field, bringing fans closer to the action like never before.
In addition, ESS will be using a new suite of graphics for the broadcast, specially developed for the Champions League T20 by a Hollywood-based production house, and utilising a range of new statistics specifically tailored for the Twenty20 format to further enhance the viewing experience of audience.Different versions of the anthem composed by AR Rahman will feature n the presentation including title sequence, music video and other on-air elements.

Boss, if they effective utilize current infrastructure.
Current network can go upto 8mbps and with slight modifications speeds upto 24mbps can be reached. Further using Home-made Govt supported HDVSL standard. Speed upto 36mbps can be reached.
HDVSL is made-in-india stanard.
Optic fibre is good only for new installations as its costly

MUMBAI: Direct-to-home (DTH) broadcast major, Sun Direct, on Wednesday introduced high-definition services to India, promising subscribers a
whole new viewing experience.
The HDTV technology, considered one of the world's best digital broadcast platforms, will improve viewer experience by about five times over regular TV, thanks to the higher resolution than the traditional platform, company officials said here at the launch.
Sun Direct COO Tony D'Silva declared that the broadcaster, an 80:20 JV between the Maran family and Malaysias Astro Group, had crossed the 3-million active subscriber base mark in March 2009 to touch the 3.1 million figure.
"This achievement qualifies us to be the No 2 DTH service provider (in India). In the coming fiscal we look to occupy the pole position,'' D'Silva said. "We also have the lowest customer churn at 3%.''
When asked about the tough times faced by the DTH industry, the Sun Direct COO claimed his company's losses of Rs 450 crore were the least among all players for FY09.
Targeted initially at a niche set of TV viewers, Sun Direct's HD services will begin with two channels--one each for Tamil movies and Telugu movies--at a cost of Rs 10,000 per subscription, before the company's plans of eight channels are put in place.
It has entered into an arrangement with Samsung to supply the set-top-boxes required for the HD services.
While various international channels and content providers have queued up to obtain permission for HD broadcast in India, it is the Commonwealth Games 2010 that will flag off the HDTV wave in the country, as the mega event is set to be telecast on the HDTV platform, Sun Direct officials said.
Stating that HDTV was a growing market D'Silva said, "In this coming year at least 20% of the 1.5 million LCDs sold will be of the HD format. We look to capture approximately 20% of this market in 2009-10... So we have a target of around 60,000-70,000 subscribers for the first year.''
Having lined up global channels like Fox International and Warner Brothers to be telecast on its service, Sun Direct looks to capture 40-45% of the DTH market this fiscal, up from its present 30% share. Towards this end the company has earmarked Rs 150 crore as marketing budget.
