India's television industry, the 3rd largest in the world, is a US$3 billion opportunity in current terms. Critical to the future is the distribution of TV channels over cable, satellite and broadband networks; the acceleration of brand spend to create a larger and globally competitive TV ad market; the creation of a favourable regulatory framework; and unlocking more investment to promote consolidation and convergence. The India Television Summit, organized by Indian Television Dot Com and Media Partners Asia, and endorsed by The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, serves as the ideal platform to gain insight from leading industry executives and government agencies into the commercial and regulatory factors shaping the future of TV in India with comparative global perspectives.
