Well, we carry on with this kind of budget but we have been
saving some amount and spending wisely.
And subscriber addition for you and the industry in FY11
There are 180 days of sports events and the Commonwealth games
in addition, so as per our estimates, this year the category should
add 10 million plus subscribers. We plan to have 25 % plus market
share.
Of the incremental 10 million
Yes.
And sir could you tell us once the sports events get over, how
much is the stickiness, what percentage of the subscribers move
away after say three-four months
Barring a few sports channels which cover only some events, other
channels like Ten Sports, Zee Sports, ESPN and Star Sports have
activities all the year round and thus the subscriber stays on.
And sir my last question is on your HD offering when is that link
planned and vis-à-vis competitors we are actually late, so in terms
of consumer awareness, consumer pull how will you differentiate
As mentioned in my statement, we are going to launch in the
month of June. Strategy and differentiation vis-à-vis competitors
cannot be discussed in this forum.
And sir lastly on the interest expense, would it go down starting
