MUMBAI: The Cable & Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia (Casbaa) has scheduled its programme for the Casbaa India Satellite Forum 2009 for 17 March in New Delhi.

Themed "Satellite Communications: A new era for India", the annual forum will bring together representatives of the communications and broadcasting industries from India and abroad with senior officials from the Indian government.

 

The confirmed participants include Trai chairman Nripendra Misra, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientific secretary A Bhaskaranarayana and Department of Telecommunications (DoT) wireless advisor Ashok Chandra.

The one-day forum is focused on the still fast-emerging trends and creative business models for the broadcasting market supported by new technologies such as VSAT-delivered Satellite Services, IPTV, Mobile TV, and DTH as well as advanced digital cable solutions. The programme will also review the ISRO’s role in the provision of satellite services (including its commercial satellite launch programme) along with market access for overseas satellite operators.
