Distribution	–	The	Key	to	World’s	Second	Largest	C&S	Market

• With 103 million C&S households, distribution remains the most difficult
  and decisive part for the success of any broadcaster.

• Distribution is heavily front loaded in terms of investment in
  infrastructure & subscriber acquisition cost (which goes as high as 80$
  per subscriber)

• With an high upfront capital expenditure and minimum break
  even period of 5 - 7 years, profitability remains a distant dream for
  independent broadcasters
