Why cant we discuss ownership of various groups controlling Print and audio/video
channels-foreign and Indian. There have been reports that foreign ownership is gradually and systematically increasing.

Subject: [IAC#RG] "Wake up and smell the coffee"

Today's OP-ed is a report of what happened in the sometimes tense Open House which TRAI convened on 18.05.2013 at New Delhi.
I had just finished stating that there was a serious problem of media cartelisation in the country and a few large media houses controlled everything, to which Arnab Goswami of Timesgroup took the rather dubious exception (although put across very smoothly) that Times TV was "very small" at only 0.5% of the media market and that there wasn't any such cartelization problem as was being highlighted.
Whereupon, as the news report says, "Pointing to another participant, who had moments earlier said "3 or 4 media houses" control everything, Mr. Khullar shot back, "There is a large body of Indian citizens who feel that way. Wake up and smell the coffee."
