Questionnaire sent to IOL Broadband Limited(Partners for MTNL’s TriBand IPTV) and Bharti Airtel Limited were unanswered even after months of following up. Maybe they are not ready yet ?

Fri, 18 Aug 2006 14:34:40 +0000 http://convergence.in/blog/archives/103#comment-2010 [...] I am beginning to doubt about how IPTV can be offered at a price of just Rs300/Month. Airtel-Broadband’s DSL in Karantaka costs Rs250 for downloading 400MB of data. If you want the same quality of Audio and Video as that of Dish TV, I atleast want a speed of 512KBPs(with all complex compression techniques), 1MBPS recommended. Current bandwidth costs for 1MBPs line are way too high. Also, you cannot force a customer to opt for high speed expensive broadband and then push him into the bouqet of IPTV. I had requested the results of Bharti-Airtel’s pilot project on IPTV in Delhi and the request just got passed from one to another without reciving any response. This makes me wonder if the results were awful to be published ? [...] [...] I am beginning to doubt about how IPTV can be offered at a price of just Rs300/Month.
