FURTHER INFORMATION
Wire and Wireless India Limited (WWIL), is one of India’s largest Multi System
Operators (MSO).
They have been serving a customer base of 6.7 million with presence in
35 cities with 400 centers in India. Wire and Wireless India Limited (WWIL) is
a part of ESSEL Group, which has diverse National & Global business
interest encompassing media programming, broadcast & distribution,
specialty packaging, entertainment, telecom and trading with a market
capitalization of over $ 1.7 Billion.
They have been providing their services in analog as well as digital
mode, having features like video on demand,pay per view,Electronic Program Guide
(EPG), Live gaming through a Set Top Box (STB) and are in the process of being
the first company in India to launch Headend In The Sky (HITS).
Wire and Wireless India Limited (WWIL), is the first company in
India to provide TRIPLE play technology, which enables subscribers to get
access to television channels, Internet and Voice Over Internet protocol (VOIP)
services
Product &
Services
Triple Play
In telecommunications, the Triple Play is a marketing term for providing
three services: high-speed Internet, Television (Video on Demand or regular
broadcasts) and Telephone service over a single broadband connection. Triple
Play focuses on a combined business model.
WWIL offering of triple play services across India, makes it the first
company to roll out video, data and voice services through a single set top
box.
Wire and Wireless India Limited will roll out in 66
cities within three years. The subscribers will be acquired both on analogue
cable and digital cable and also through headend in the sky (HITS).
Currently, Triple Play services are offered by cable television
operators as well as by telecommunication operators. This paves the way for the
service providers to compete with one another. It relies on the assumption that
an integrated solution will increase opportunity costs for customers who may
want to choose between service providers. Interoperability is not a design
target.
HOW TRIPLE PLAY WORKS
For telephone local exchange carriers (LEC), Triple Play is delivered by using
a combination of optical fiber and digital subscriber line (DSL) technologies
(called fiber in the loop) to its residential base.
This configuration uses fiber communications to reach distant locations
and uses DSL over an existing POTS twisted pair cable as last mile access to
the subscriber's home.
Cable television operators use a similar architecture called hybrid
fiber coaxial (HFC) to provide subscriber homes with broadband, but use the
available coaxial cable for the last mile transmission standard.
Subscriber homes can be in a residential environment, multi-dwelling
units, or even in business offices.
Using DSL over twisted pair, television content is delivered using IPTV
where the content is streamed to the subscriber in an MPEG-2 transport format.
On an HFC network, television may be a mixture of analog and digital
television signals.
A Set-Top-Box (STB) is used at the subscriber's home to allow the
subscriber to control viewing and order new video services such as movies on
demand.
Internet is delivered via ATM or DOCSIS, typically provided as a
10BASE-T Ethernet port to the subscriber. Voice can be delivered using a
traditional Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) interface as part of the legacy
telephone network or can be delivered using Voice over IP (VoIP). In a HFC
network, voice is delivered using VoIP.
Some service providers are also rolling out Ethernet to the home
networks and fiber to the home, which support Triple Play services and bypass
the disadvantages of adapting broadband transmission to a legacy network. This
is particularly common in green field developments where the CAPEX is reduced
by deploying one network to deliver all services.
Triple Play has led to the term "Quadruple play" (or 4play)
where wireless communications is introduced as another media to deliver video,
Internet and voice content. Advances in both CDMA and GSM standards, utilizing
3G, 4G or UMTS allow the service operators to enter into Quadruple Play and
gain competitive advantage against other providers. The grouping together of
services (as triple or quadruple play) is called multi-play.
Other advanced technologies such as WiMax or 802.16 have allowed new
market entrants to achieve Triple Play. Many speculate that this means serious,
new competition for the established providers of bundled telecommunications
services.
The challenges in offering Triple Play are associated with determining
the right business model, backend processes, customer care support and economic
environment rather than technology.
For example, using the right billing platform to address a variety of
subscriber demographics or having the appropriate subscriber density to
financially justify introduction of the service are a few factors that affect
decisions to offer Triple Play service.
There also exist a number of technical challenges with regards to the
rollout of Triple Play services. Voice, video and high speed data all have
different characteristics and place different burdens on the network that
provides access to these services. Voice Services are greatly affected by
jitter, whereas packet loss or packet reordering has a greater effect on Video
and Data services. Using a shared network resource such as cable or DSL
requires that the network equipment used employs Quality of Service mechanisms.

Wire & Wireless India to roll
out set top boxes, VoIP
2006-07-21
Wire &
Wireless India Limited (WWIL) announced that it welcomed the Division Bench,
Delhi High Court order stating that CAS has to be implemented in the notified
areas of Mumbai, Delhi and Calcutta with effect from 1st January, 2007. The notification for the same
has to be issued by the Government on 31st July, 2006, thus giving 5 months time to all the stake holders
i.e. the Broadcasters, MSOs and Last Mile Operators to finally prepare for CAS
roll-out.
Commenting
on the order, Jagjit Singh Kohli, CEO WWIL, said, “Wire & Wireless India
Limited (WWIL) is fully prepared to roll-out Set Top Boxes not only in the
notified areas but throughout the country.” WWIL is the only MSO using Headend
in the Sky (HITS) technology that enables it to cover the entire country with a
single Digital Headend. WWIL is the only MSO with capabilities of introducing
Value Added boxes besides the plain vanilla Set Top Boxes being done by all
others. He added, “The Set Top Boxes will also have full Triple Play features
including facility for VOIP digital telephone lines using their existing
telephone instruments.”
Among
the other features being introduced by WWIL are Movie on Demand (MOD) / Video
on Demand (VOD), Pay per View (PPV), Interactive Games, Smart Card based real
time payment solution, E-Banking, etc. The Set Top Boxes are made available on
a refundable deposit of Rs 999 on a rent of Rs 30 per month. Besides this there
would be other attractive schemes for the subscribers to buy the Set Top Boxes
along with the services at subsidized packages.
WWIL is
also embarking on a major expansion-cum-acquisition spree in preparation for
implementation of CAS next year. This will result in a big jump in the revenues
as well as the profitability of WWIL. All the measures being implemented by
WWIL now will result in total control over the contentious Last Mile Operators
in even the non CAS areas thereby bringing transparency and accountability and
realizing huge hidden values which in the past was unexploited due to under
declaration by Last Mile Operators.

Delhi , Aug. 10
The Zee Group has decided to convert Zee News Limited
(ZNL), created by hiving off Zee Telefilm Limited's (ZTL) news and current
affairs division, into a 100 per cent Indian company before again incorporating
26 per cent foreign equity and has sought Government permission for the two-tiered
transaction.
Following creation of ZNL out of ZTL, shareholders of
ZTL are to be issued shares of ZNL in the ratio of 137 fully paid-up equity
shares of Re 1 each of ZNL for 100 shares of Re 1 each held in ZTL. In an
application to the FIPB, ZTL has sought permission to issue shares of ZNL that
accrue to its foreign equity holders, namely Mauritius-based Delgrada Limited
and Lazarus Investments Limited, because of their holding in ZTL.
ZTL has sought permission to issue 4,24,67,291 equity
shares of ZNL to Delgrada and Lazarus, which would be immediately transferred
back to the Indian promoters of ZTL, namely Jayneer Capital Private Limited.
Permission has also been sought to issue shares to
foreign investors not exceeding 26 per cent of the equity capital of the
company, which would be a maximum of 5,98,78,333 equity shares of Re 1 each.
Earlier in March this year, ZTL had announced its
plans to restructuring itself into four companies. Apart from itself and ZNL,
the other two companies would be regional channels and the direct-to-home and
distribution. Siticable and the cable-related business of ZTL would be demerged
into a new company called Wire and Wireless (India) Limited.
