[icernet] DTT & CAS to clash in metros

[Arul Selvan MIC]

At a time when the conditional access system (CAS) is in the process of
being implemented, another technology-digital terrestrial transmission
(DTT) - is also in the offing. Doordarshan is planning a market roll-out
of DTT around January. But there's a conflict: For both CAS and DTT, you
need separate decoder set-top boxes. And although the two technologies
are being targeted at different segments, both are being launched in the
metros first. The question is, will there be any DTT  takers in metros
with just five DD channels in the bouquet, when CAS is a reality too?
