| NEW DELHI: Media baron Subhash Chandra crossed
another milestone today. The information & broadcasting ministry today
cleared his Essel group's letter of intent to operate a DTH service
in the country. A formal communication to this effect is expected
to follow today or tommorrow. |

The DTH project is being implemented by
the Subhash Chandra-owned Zee Telefilms' cable arm Siti Cable, while
the licence holder for uplinking and turning around TV channels (in
case of HITS) is another group company, ASC Enterprises, which is
also separately implementing India's first private sector satellite
project called Agrani. Zee Telefilms is an Essel Group enterprise.
The Essel group is believed to be on the look out for a brandname
under which the DTH service is to be marketed in India.
In a related development, Siticable will hold a demonstration of the
various features of its Conax set top boxes in Delhi on 30 July.
