NTV-Plus, a Russian satellite pay-TV operator, expects to play a key role in developing the digital television market in Russia. The operator has about 400,000 subscribers and is leading the way in Russia’s digital television market, and is likely to be one of the fastest growing direct-to-home satellite television operators in Eastern Europe in the next few years.
Alexander Ordzhonikidze, NTV-Plus’s director general told Satellite Today, “In the Russian market, NTV-Plus is the trail-blazer and the trendsetter of the digital broadcasting. We have been broadcasting in digital since 1999. In addition, being the leader in the Russian pay-TV market, NTV-Plus, to a large extent, dictates strategies to its competitors for their further development in terms of broadcast quality standards, services, and content.”
