I have used an IPTV device for my television, that is *not* linked to any satellite but only a broadband wired line, at a rental of Rs. 100 per month. This should be affordable to the masses. The Govt. ( or the telecom company ) recovers the cost in 3 to 4 years. -- As a proper list etiquette... Please trim your replies.
