Of aspirations, tribulations and jubilations

I was wondering what happened after those "Change to DTH from cable" calls were made to public. So to answer that I went to the Government data set site and looked for relevant data. And I found a data set showing the total number of subscriber for various DTH providers in this country, for each year from 2011 to 2015. That led me to create this visualization (purely because I wanted to explore tableau). So have a look at it and you will know that DishTV was the biggest gainer.
