company decided not to compete against entrenched cable operators in metros and urban areas and instead focused on providing services to rural areas and regions not serviced by cable television . jawahar goel who led the launch recalled 10 years later we hardly had four transponders and could offer only 48 channels compared to analog cable that was giving 60 and was much cheaper . and star refused to give its channels . so we decided to go slow and concentrate in cable dry and cable frustrated markets rather than cable rich markets and build the market step by step . dish tv acquired 350 000 subscribers within 2 years of the launch . 7 following bitter legal proceedings between star and zee in 2007 the two companies called a truce and began offering their channels on each others
