Why are they not on Netflix ? :) On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 11:33 AM, Tony White via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
For VoD services, it is easy to add local content to their portfolio - nobody has to actually watch it! (if they don't want to!) - so they can easily achieve any target % they have to meet. It's very different for broadcasters, though.
Any initiative which will improve and broaden our local content is welcome. I would like to see some local SciFi, sit-coms, thrillers etc. instead of a steadily increasing stream of boring soaps!
Cheers, Tony

Well.. they not only have but also actively encourage and develop local capacity to rival such products. For them I suppose it makes sense.

The EU announced plans to free internet shopping and ban geo-fencing. Netflix and Amazon are to adhere to a 20% local content requirement (Seems like these guys are case studying Kenya). :-)
