Mr Raghav Bahl told analysts that CNBC (India) plans to increase the number of decoders to 3000 from the present 300 decoders within the next three months.

OT Clinton's itinerary with no agenda? Flirting With Trouble Flirting With Trouble (When he visits the subcontinent, Clinton should stick to feel-good diplomacy) By PARTHASARATHI SWAMI The first United States President to visit India was Ulysses S. Grant. Or more precisely, ex-President: when Grant sailed to the subcontinent in 1878, he had been out of office for a year and could afford to let himself go a bit.

No one expects President Bill Clinton to display such boorishness when he visits India later this month--which will, no doubt, disappoint the scores of local cartoonists and columnists who have been trying to revive Monica Lewinsky jokes in the run-up to his tour. But even those sober-minded citizens who hope that Clinton's visit will lead to a breakthrough on, say, nuclear testing should realize that such high-level visits are remembered more for their snafus than their successes......... cnn.com ========== India: Traveling Show-Into the Breach Bill Clinton brings his "healing touch" and a healthy curiosity to South Asia, but not much of an agenda (In tense South Asia, U.S. President Bill Clinton may face one raw, ruptured relationship he cannot heal) By ANTHONY SPAETH New Delhi When Air Force One touches down in New Delhi on March 19, Bill Clinton will set foot in a region he described last week as "the most dangerous place in the world today." In the words of his Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, the Indian subcontinent is a "tinderbox." Clinton waited until the last moment to add a whistle-stop in Pakistan to his itinerary. A major consideration: with heavy-duty terrorists in nearby Afghanistan and plenty of anti-American sentiment in the air, would Clinton be safe? ... cnn.com
