Industry chamber Assocham’s report titled “India’s Digital Revolution – Impact on Film & Television Sector,” says overall media and entertainment sector revenues will double to Rs 1 lakh crore by 2011-12 from the current levels. TV advertising is expected to grow at 14 per cent year on year over the next three years.

Assocham projects television’s growth at over Rs 52,000 crore in the next three years, from the current Rs 20,000 crore. But that includes subscription, aided by pay TV. The Internet remains a new, wannabe kid on the block, but a fast-growing one. According to the KPMG-FICCI report, the expected growth in the Internet is around 28 per cent, albeit on a small base. “It will take five to six years before we can talk of the Internet as a significant advertising medium,” said Sudip Sural head of corporate and government ratings at credit rater CRISIL, saying the current 50 million PCs and 7 million broadband users were a small share. According to the International Advertising Association, Internet’s share of the advertising pie in India is around three per cent, which compares favourably with some developed markets. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""GLOBAL SPECULATORS"" group.
