Out of that, about Rs 12,000 crore... on buying set top boxes (STBs). Rs 6,000 crore ...on upgrading... equipment. Another Rs 6,000 crore...on subsidies...as on November 5, 2012, 22.4 lakh STBs had been installed in Mumbai, 25.15 lakh in Delhi and the number of installed boxes was 17.74 lakh."

Getting a protected market?
