Did you know that India is projected to become the most populated country in the world over the next three years?

Posted by David (aka David) Aug 8 '19, 14:32

I learned this while researching Hotstar.

And I can toss in a Hotstar fact. This streaming service covered the 2019 Cricket World Cup. Suffice to say that demand was high.

For the most recent fiscal quarter, Hotstar averaged 300 million users. As a point of comparison, Netflix has 139 million total subscribers.

During one epic day, Hotstar had 100 million users. And the app had 25.3 million simultaneous users, easily a worldwide record.

a few years ago, a woman I worked with left to take a foreign service job in Hyderabad. I looked it up and found it was the 4th largest city in India - prayformojo Aug 8, 14:53
yes. and it amuses me when I see Jersians and New Yorkers bitching and moaning about crowded or delayed mass transit - Jovian Aug 8, 14:40 5

    - If they were spending billions a year on their transit then I'm sure they'd have better than what we both have today. - Krusty Aug 8, 14:58
Also, the final ended in a tie, so they had a tie-breaker. Which also ended in a tie. - Roger More Aug 8, 14:36 4
- I'm told that important games were rained out, and it hurt Disney so much that they'll get millions back from insurance. What's that about? -- nm - David Aug 8, 14:37 3
  - I dunno about "important games" but basically the group stage of the tournament was a round robin format with every team playing every other team - Roger More Aug 8, 14:54 2
    - I think Hotstar had broadcasting rights to everything, so all lost games hurt their bottom line. - David Aug 8, 14:57 1
      - Broadcasting rights in India and some other Asian markets (eg Sri Lanka, Bangladesh) as well as digital in the US and Canada. - Roger More Aug 8, 15:16
not the timing but I knew it was close. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 14:34 1
- Look, people, it's not the 90's any more. Babies? 2 or 3. It's cool. Go to town! We've got ghost cities to fill! -- nm - China Aug 8, 14:35
But could you shop for the outfits worn by the players? - Mop Aug 8, 14:33
