[icernet-admin at listserv.cddc.vt.edu]

Questioning the media houses which oppose foreign direct investment (FDI), 
Aroon Purie, chief of Living Media, the group which publishes India Today, 
asked the government to raise the FDI limit in news and current affairs to 
49 per cent from the present 26 per cent. 

He also suggested that the government allow foreign-owned news channels to 
uplink from India as per existing norms since they were anyway free to 
downlink their content here.
