India's Prasar Bharati plans for HDTV in 2010

[Voldy]

Ya friends these news is true we will have HDTV in India if Prasar Bharati will succeed in their dreams , i guess

The digital broadcasting changeover continues worldwide, this time it's India's national broadcaster, Prasar Bharati planning to introduce HDTV by 2010, and go all-digital by 2015. The target event is the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, while other nations focus on readying themselves for the Olympics or World Cup. The report indicates the country's information & broadcasting ministry is already behind in phase one of its digitization plans, but hopefully they'll have things ready in the next 1050 days.

Hope they will succeed !!!
