According to the Research Analyst  Ken Research The Pay TV industry in India has been divided into three major segments on the basis of technology. The three broad classifications within this segment are cable TV, Direct to Home (DTH) and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV). Cable TV was introduced in the Indian market when the audiences were looking forward to new forms of entertainment. For nearly three decades, cable TV was the only provider of television content in India. However, with the government’s DTV mandate introduced in the year 2000 requires all analog connections to be shut down and digital optical fibers to be used.

The revenue streams for the Pay TV industry can be broadly classified into advertisement revenues and subscription revenues. . The subscription revenues are garnered from the consumers subscribing to the services of the pay TV network. Advertisement revenues on the other hand are obtained from various groups and companies, who advertise their products and services on the pay TV connections. Despite an increase in the advertisement revenues, their share in the total Pay TV revenues has observed a decline. This is because the number of households subscribing to pay TV networks has been rising at a faster pace and the ARPUs in the industry have been gradually inclining.
