With an estimated 28 million Indians already hooked on to the internet, internet advertising in India is presently worth Rs 100 crore. With the broadband slowly becoming popular, the segment would show a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 50 per cent.
...In terms of value though, television would dominate the industry with the size growing three times from Rs 14,800 crore to a whopping Rs 42,700 crore by 2010 with the CAGR at 24 per cent. Subscription revenues which will be the key drivers for the growth, would increase from the number of pay TV homes and increased subscription rates. New distribution platforms like DTH and IPTV will only increase the subscriber base and push up the subscription revenues.
