Siti Cable Network has a capital expenditure plan of Rs 1,000 crore (Rs 10 billion) in FY16 and has decided to initially deploy MPEG-4 set-top boxes (STBs) in Phase III towns of digital addressable system (DAS).

The deployment of MPEG-4 STBs will help the MSO to save on bandwidth cost that it needs to pay to telecom operators for using their fibre to link signals from its Phase I and II digital headends to Phase III towns. “We have not seeded any MPEG-4 box so far.
