Reliance set for DTH foray in July

Mumbai, June 3

Big TV, the direct-to-home (DTH) service of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group (ADAG) is all set for a nation wide launch in July, sources in Reliance Communications (RCom) told Business Line.

As a precursor to the launch, the Big TV homepage ( http://www.bigtv.co.in), which had gone live earlier this year, says: “For as little as under Rs 100 a month, you can get over dozens of digital as well as pay-per-view channels and much more.”

A spokesperson for RCom refused to comment on the development.

According to recent media reports, customers will have to pay only Rs 1,000 upfront for a Big TV connection, making it the cheapest DTH player in the country.

The news that BIG DTH will be launching in July appears to be true. The same news was even telecast on many channels. So I think we can really expect BIG things to happen next month. :yahoo:

We can also expect lot of noise by way of ad. campaigns and may be even bookings in this month before the actual launch in July. However, this is my guess only.:thumb:
