[icernet] Analog Vs Digital Has Cable Operators In A Tizzy

[Arul Selvan]

Is it going to be 40 per cent analog and 60 per cent digital, the other 
way round, 50:50, or some other ratio, once the conditional access 
system (CAS) is rolled out in the metros? Nobody quite knows the answer. 
Channel bouquet pricing is not the only uncertain factor in CAS. The 
number of digital and analog boxes that one will see in the metros is an 
even bigger mystery. While it makes sense for MSOs to consolidate their 
headend networks with digital infrastructure, independent operators are 
singing a different tune altogether.
