Re: [kictanet] Is CCK's move to renege on a promise to award a 3rd digital signal distributor license justified?

22 May 2013

      Listers,

Here is my 2 pence worth.

If we have three networks then this could provide choice to the viewers on which network to buy customer premises equipment inorder to receive the signal. 

Do we have quality content available accept for DSTV, is there any alternative available?

Best Regards
Baiju

Listers,
In my view, digital migration is "Free to air". A consumer should therefore not be required to join any subscription  service in order to migrate.

Let us not try and make this a regulatory or policy issue what with
theorizing the pros and cons. Incumbent broadcasters are about to be stuck
with millions worth of obsolete equipment and a cartel that will be
worthless soon enough. it is this investment that they are fighting to
maintain a stranglehold on the industry.
Its a commercial issue plain and simple. I would be amused if the CCK was
to hold its ground and find other stations to fill the incumbents shoes.
Nobody is indispensable.
