correct the two birds are just about spent and very outdated the ground spare was never even completed.
India has rolled out 265 fm stations in many cites across the country and currently has another 210 in the works the license only run 4% of revenue.also their was a good bit of talk about hdradio with some form of testing taking place a couple of years back.
satellite is not allowed to have any paid commercials and must even limit promotion channel content to under two minutes per hour.Along with some content restrictions for religious and other types of programming.
also i think the repeater network issue was or is still open for India.
world-space only had documentation to broadcast in three countries within the Eu Swiss,German and Italy. along with Bahrain and the Uae currently.
at one point they had a French partner operation and it drew very few subs not sure if they maintain the documents for broadcasting there
i don't think the Swiss or German build-out process even started.
i'm with john on this issue,
