Rep Power: 3 | Source: The Economic Times NEW DELHI: Consumer electronics major Videocon has delayed the launch of its Direct-to-home (DTH) venture. The company had earlier said it would start pilot tests in July and launch commercially in August. Videocon’s DTH brand, D2H, would be the sixth player to enter the DTH space. Videocon Industries director Saurabh Dhoot said, “We haven’t delayed our launch. We would start testing signals before the year end and launch it next year. I can’t reveal the exact date of the launch.” As per industry sources, Videocon would not be in a position to launch its DTH venture commercially before March next year. The company has announced plans to invest Rs 1,000 crore in the next three year on its DTH business. The company has also said that it would offer its product at competitive prices and would leverage its consumer durable customer base to grab the initial numbers. According to industry sources, there could be atleast one additional company who has applied for DTH license and has also talked to technology partners. India would be the first country in the world to have 6-7 DTH players and industry experts believe it would be a formidable task for them to exist and maintain the subscriber numbers. News Corp owned NDS Group chairman & CEO Abe Peled who was recently on an India visit had said, “If you ask me, it is difficult for seven DTH companies to coexist.” NDS provides digital cable and DTH companies with pay television technology. The entry of R-ADAG’s Big TV and Airtel digital television triggered a price war which has adversely impacted the profitability of DTH players. Dish TV is now looking at increasing its prices. Industry experts believe consumers attracted to players with low prices have zero loyalty factor and therefore players could loose such subscribers after they end their promotional offers. Quote:

Rep Power: 7 | its not be launched yet, so tariffs are far long away, if you are thinking of switching try considering something which has already been launched, and you will find a lot of reviews for the other DTH companies on the forum itself! |

| Gold Member | Indian is the only country the whole world where 6-7 players are there in DTH space. also videocon has lost early mover advantage, now only way to enter market is via penetration pricing, which means huge losses and long break-even period. videocon's finicial condition is not that sound. I don't think we would see videocon in DTH space anytime soon |

Rep Power: 0 | Well yes, accoring to the news, they are going to launch d2h services on 27th of April 2009. I came across a blogspot blog which have many details about videocon d2h but don't know who is behind this blog?  d2hdth.blogspot.com The informations there seems to be right as it says that the informations here by are collected from a very high corporate resource. |
