TV landscape may change

Article Abstract:

AOL Time-Warner Inc. and Sony Corp. are working on an alliance which would combine their Indian television channels, increasing their influence over India's cable providers. Cable systems in India will often underreport the number of subscribers, which Sony hopes to avoid by teaming up with AOL Time-Warner, providing more channels and scrambling its programming when cheating is suspected.
