Wasted transponder capacity

IN Media Watch Briefs | 02/12/2014

The CAG of India has said in its audit report on the management of satellite capacity for DTH services that most  DTH operators in India opted for Ku-band transponders on foreign satellites because of  poor management by the Department of Space. Out of the total 76 transponders used by Indian DTH operators (as of July 2013), only 25 per cent were on Indian satellites, the rest on foreign satellites. (Television Post)
