NEW DELHI, India--(Business Wire)--
NDS, the leading provider of technology solutions for digital Pay
TV, today announced that the company is increasing its presence in
India with the opening of a new, sales and support office in New
Delhi. NDS aims to offer the Indian Pay TV industry the best service
and support of any technology provider.

Commenting in Mumbai, Sue Taylor, VP and General Manager of NDS
Asia Pacific said, "NDS is very optimistic about the growth of the
Indian Pay TV market and we are honoured to be the partner of choice
for leading broadcasters, platform operators, and service providers
delivering the latest services and content to subscribers," she said.
"We are privileged to be able to partner with the leading operators in
both the satellite and cable space." She continued: "The opening of
our sales and support office in New Delhi allows us to enhance our
reach and local support capabilities and to better serve our existing
and future customers."

India is a dynamic market for digital Pay TV and is projected to
see some of the highest digital subscriber growth rates anywhere in
the world. Furthermore, according to forecasts from Media Partners
Asia, India's digital Pay TV market will lead the Asia-Pacific region
in revenue generation by 2015. The major factors promoting market
development are government regulation, high GDP growth, increasing
demand for quality content and delivery, and new market entrants
offering both satellite and cable services. The increase in
competition and consumer choice in Pay TV is accelerating uptake of
digital solutions and is leading operators to provide quality content,
innovative applications, differentiated services and improved
delivery.

India's established Pay TV market leaders, Tata Sky, Hathway Cable
and Datacom, as well as new market entrants Bharti and Digital
Entertainment Network (DEN), all rely on NDS systems to protect and
enable their Pay TV services.

In conjunction with the opening of the New Delhi office, the NDS
Mumbai office and Bangalore R&D centre continue to grow. With 900
staff already in India, NDS is committed to providing continuing
support to the Indian market and to investing in further expansion.
With unprecedented emphasis on research and development, NDS ensures
our customers are market leaders, today and tomorrow.
