		What the good professor seems to have overlooked is that the pay TV industry is still at the bottom of a gigantic, loss-making fl hole.

	AN INTRODUCTION TO SATELLITE TV
		Cable TV had started out in the 1950's in many outlying areas as "community antenna" systems where local TV station broadcasts and those from larger cities were received on high tower receiver systems and sent by cable to the subscribers.
		The pay channel programmers, because these channels were not carried on regular TV channels and were not governed by the restrictions placed on network TV channels by the FCC, could broadcast "R" rated movies,comedy routines with "adult" content, and sexually oriented program material which could not be carried by the networks.
		TV stations now have their own mobile uplink equipment so they can carry a live story or event and send it by satellite to their network to be rebroadcast to the whole nation and world.

	Pay TV business in India may overtake that of China-Entertainment-Media / Entertainment / Art-News By Industry-News-The ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In China, which is an equally regulated market like India, the pay TV scheme allows for a basic package of $3.5 and the rest of the channels decide their own pricing according to the quality of content being offered.
		Given the fact that global TV fragmentation has led to advertisers reducing their spends on TV, there is more play of new media and interactive advertising - a far more involved way of communicating to the consumer.
		However, given that India has a massive emerging middle-class, and TV viewing is a very strong habit, it clearly shows the most potential to be the driver of the pay TV market.

		India's fragmented $3.6 billion TV industry has more than 20,000 cable operators who, analysts and broadcasters say, under-declare subscriber numbers, charge random tariffs and sometimes flout broadcasters.
		An attempt to introduce the conditional access system (CAS) in 2004 was stymied by politicians and cable operators everywhere except Chennai, where adoption was slow because the most popular channels were free-to-air -- not requiring a set-top box -- at a monthly cable subscription of up to 77 rupees ($1.74).
		Still, the advent of CAS is expected to speed the growth of satellite TV, digital TV, Internet Protocol TV and other technologies which would boost advertising and subscription revenues, analysts say.
