The Indian Cable TV sector has a gargantuan task at hand. Not only does it have to work towards converting analogue cable TV homes to digital, but it also needs to work towards connecting India with high-speed broadband pipes.
Multi system operators (MSOs) are now working towards strengthening their broadband services. While Hathway Cable & Datacom was the first to launch a 50 mbps broadband service on its Docsis 3.0 ultra high speed network in 2013, Siti Cable and Den Networks were quick to follow suit in 2014. Not only this, several cooperatives that mushroomed post the digitization announcement, are also looking at offering more broadband services. And all this, to improve business as well as their average revenue per user (ARPU).
So are MSOs in India taking the right approach to build a broadband base in the country? Broadcom India managing director Rajiv Kapur tells Indiantelevision.com, “I applaud the MSOs in the country for what they are doing. They are taking the right approach. If anything, they should do more of it.”
