Viren Popli		Living in India I believe that the technology to watch for will be WiMax (if it lives up to what it promises to be). The ability to deliver Triple Play (TVoIP, VoIP and Internet Surfing) to large swathes of Indian households without digging up roads and laying expensive fibre will open immense opportunity and challenge existing business models (Cable Operators, Broadband providers, DTH and Mobile Operators). As regards availability of quality content which, I too believe, will be the single, most important driver of any new technology this is still some time away as the Mobile companies view content providers as "less than equals" and key decisions on content are driven not by quality, suitability or saleability but more by revenue share. Broadcasters on the other hand are past masters at dealing with pipe owners (read Cable Operators) and will continue to stay out of the market till The Cellphone operators dont offer better deals and show a willingness to work closely with the Broadcasters and content owners. Its a catch 22 which the consumer and industry watchers can only look at and hope for an early resolution. Hopefully Viren Private Reply to Viren Popli (new win)
