The Indian direct-to-home (DTH) market will still see strong levels of growth despite the economic recession, according to a report by research company RNCOS.
    The DTH industry will add about 500,000 subscribers a month in 2009, according to “Indian DTH Market Forecast to 2012.” The study also forecasts that RNCOS forecasts the numbers to surge further at a CAGR of around 30 percent through 2012.
    “With over 130 million TV homes, India offers large room for growth in DTH services as the technology can be used to offer DTH services in remote locations, where setting up of cable networks seems impossible or is highly expensive,” RNCOS said in the report.
