This attribute of the industry is apparent from the examples of countries across the world that have been able to successfully unlock the full scale of the broadcast industry.

It was also noted by the minister that the sector needs to pay more attention and focus on business and commercial aspects, creation of viable and sustainable pipelines to boost profitability, and the framework for attractive investments.
