    Take it at face value, but an Airtel tech told me today that the Gurgaon IPTV tests are over, and they will open it up for everyone sometime in December. Anyone else heard any news on this?

    i think so... that is one good reason why companies are promoting non-cable services.

    Hmmm.... Seems stb now will be needed in every case.... DTH, CAS and now IPTV.... Its ok... but they need to provide stb at cheaper rate or monthly rental rate.... I want another connection to my pc for tatasky but the thought on spending 3500 rs again puts me off

    but in the end its putting more restrictions on how we use the cable feed we get in our home. they have more powers to monitor our usage...

    More like locking you into them for a loooong time. That's provided you dont buy the STB in which case you are renting. But if you want to quick to adopt new stuff, then you will pay a price.

    I love the way they used the word deposit here..a deposit is by default refundable, except in this case its more like a donation.

    They should use the word bribe instead, woudl be far more accurate.
