Reliance's Viacom18 to acquire Disney's StarIndia through a Share swap deal worth $8bn
This seems to be happening finally?
Really depends on CCI to be honest, might become a tough one especially because of the total market share. Zee Sony is a case in point
isn't google a monopoly in india
They regulate mergers - where essentially through a merger / acquisition if you gain an abnormal market share in the economy. If you've grown naturally, they don't regulate that typically unless there is some anti competitive behaviour (like bundling etc)
Better streaming on the jio app finally. I guess they wont be poaching hotstar engineers anymore
OTTS are a mess, such a fractured market. Content spread across 10+ apps.
If it takes a Motabahi to bring it all together, then so be it. Looks like an Indian alternative to Netflix/Hulu in the making. Huge market, i wish them the best. Good that India's entertainment is in Indian hands.
