In a statement, Tony D’ Silva, MD, Grant Investrade, said: “NXT DIGITAL has received an overwhelming response from the distribution fraternity in phase III & IV markets in India. Our broadcast centre and our backend systems are fully operational; our broadcaster relationships have been formalised… and we’re ready to go ‘live’ shortly.”
The deadline for the phase III stage of Digital Addressable System has been set at December 31.
