I sent the below web sites to Babis Charalampopoulos a few years ago and<br />

he agreed that these are the types of transmitters presently being used by<br />

Thank you John for the info. So the 'incorrect' 4 x 250 kW mentioned in<br />

the WRTH should not be counted to the 'potential', because they will only<br />

be used as spare parts, but I could easily imagine that it wasn't the only<br />

possibility for the transmitters from the beginning and there could have<br />

been other alternatives, so they remained in the count for too long.<br />

Generally speaking, I don't really see the transmitter count per site a<br />

matter of being totally correct or totally incorrect. I don't think any<br />

part can get 100 % reliable and current information from each SW<br />

transmitter site in the world, whether the txs not used actively are<br />

maintained properly, possibly to be used later on or to be sold or the<br />

decision has just been done that they will be used as spare parts or are<br />

simply scrapped. And what is the difference from the point of actual<br />

broadcasting operation if a transmitter is run once a year just to see if<br />

it works or it is used as spare parts? Both are outside the operation. It<br />

would be good if the transmitter operators would send updates to WRTH, but<br />

as far as I know they very seldom do that. Does anyone know if tdp.info is<br />

updated at all any more?<br />

INDIA Sendeende von WorldSpace Satellite Radio fuer Indien.<br />

Sehr zum Aerger der aktuellen Kunden hat WorldSpace India am 31. Dez. 2009<br />

den Betrieb eingestellt. Die US-amerikanische Muttergesellschaft<br />

WorldSpace, Inc., hat seit Okt. 2008 unter Insolvenzrecht gearbeitet, aber<br />

bisher keine neuen Investoren gefunden. Indien machte mit 450.000<br />

Abonnenten 95 Prozent der WorldSpace-Kundschaft aus, wobei etwa die<br />

Haelfte die Programme ueber das Pay-TV-Bouquet von Airtel DTH bezog. Bei<br />

Airtel DTH zahlten die Abonnenten fuer 10 Programme von WorldSpace Rs120<br />

im Jahr, bei WorldSpace Rs2,000 fuer 40 Programme. Insofern war der Deal<br />

fuer WorldSpace nicht profitabel, half aber, im Markt zu bleiben.<br />

Worldspace India hat bis zuletzt Kunden geworben bzw. Kunden in die<br />

proprietraeren Satellitenradios investieren lassen.<br />

Waehrend die Radios jetzt nutzlos sind, koennen die Abonnenten immerhin<br />

versuchen, etwas von ihren Abo-Gebuehren zurueckzubekommen. Airtel DTH,<br />

das als Alleinstellungsmerkmal gegenueber anderen Anbietern auch Programme<br />

von WorldSpace ausstrahlte, wird kuenftig zehn Satellitenprogramme von All<br />
