➀ India is transitioning from analogue to digital broadcasting, with DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) replacing analogue transmitters. The DTT standard uses VHF/UHF carriers for digital transmission.

➁ Mobile phones are increasingly becoming the primary medium for video consumption, prompting the integration of DTT receivers into smartphones. This has led to the concept of D2M (Direct-to-Mobile), which combines mobile tower broadcasts with DTT.

➂ The shutdown of DTT transmitters without immediate D2M alternatives has led to a reliance on paid services like DTH and OTT. The introduction of D2M remains delayed, impacting public broadcasting and increasing internet bandwidth usage.
