After we had thread of 3 mobile operators planning to merge, here is another sensational thread about 3 Indian DTH operators supposedly planning for merger (or merging operational activity). 3 companies in news regarding this are Dish TV, Videocon d2h and Airtel Digital TV.
Not sure how much about this news is really true, but such consolidation was bound to happen considering large number of operators India have, and how difficult it is for them to keep running their expense and get some profits.
(I remember few years ago, Jet Airways and Kingfisher also had formed JV for operational activity to manage ground staff activity at airports, DTH companies may also have similar plans).
