[kictanet] Cofek to sue CCK for defaulting on television deal

“Customers who fail to pay subscription fees on time will continue to access the must-carry free-to-air services (FTA) for a period of at least two weeks,” read a letter from CCK director-general Francis Wangusi (pictured, below left) to pay-TV providers. Through the letter, CCK is reneging on an earlier agreement with Cofek that made it compulsory for pay-TV companies to give subscribers access to all free-to-air channels, even without a paid-up subscription. This agreement saw the providers introduce a new range of decoders that would allow customers view all the FTA channels – KBC, NTV, KTN, K24 and Citizen TV for free. http://www.nation.co.ke/business/-/996/2134512/-/h3rhar/-/index.html
