The roll out of high-definition television (HDTV) in the Gulf is being slowed because broadcasters are reluctant to pay the high cost of satellite bandwith, reported Gulf News. Most broadcasters have HDTV infrastructure set up in the Middle East and yet it could take a few years before HDTV will be in the homes of consumers. Humaid Rashid Sahoo, chief executive of e-vision, said the Middle East has been ready for HDTV for two years in terms of infrastructure, but there isn't enough content to broadcast to balance the cost.
