UTStarcom's RollingStream solution will enable Bharti Airtel to offer a
completely new service to its customers consisting of live broadcast
television, time-shifted TV and video-on-demand (VoD) bundled with the
operator's existing broadband and voice services, which can all be
consolidated into a single bill sent to customers at the end of each month.
Airtel expects to offer this new service bundle to customers in Gurgaon and
the National Capital Region (NCR) by the end of the year. The service will
also be rolled out in a phased manner across eight additional regions in the
country.

'We are happy to team with UTStarcom to offer IPTV and other new services
to our customers in India,' said Atul Bindal, president of Airtel Broadband
and Telephone Services. 'UTStarcom's RollingStream solution has proven
technology to support our requirements in rolling out IPTV service in India.
We are running our IPTV trials in Gurgaon and have received a favorable
response from our customers participating in these trials.'

Earlier this year, UTStarcom announced a three-year contract through its
collaboration with Aksh Optifibre Ltd. to deploy its RollingStream solution
with Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL) in India. In addition to its
deployments in India, UTStarcom also has commercial IPTV deployments with
China Telecom and China Netcom in China and Softbank in Japan. Demand for IPTV
is expected to grow significantly in the Asia Pacific region. According to
Frost and Sullivan, IPTV subscribers in this region are expected to surpass 27
million by 2013 with China and India being the high-growth markets.

'Today's announcement represents our second commercial deployment of
RollingStream in India this year,' said Vijay Yadav, managing director of
South Asia for UTStarcom, Inc. 'We believe our RollingStream solution can
revolutionize the way television is viewed in India by making services more
interactive and personalized to the end user.'
