On an aside I now realise that it is actually the government that does not want the migration to digital and are using the mainstream media and COFEK to front the assault.

Grace, At the recent ITU forum in Asia, Africa tried to get an extension beyond 2015 but but they were rejected. It was even embarrassing for South Africa to raise the postponement proposal. Reason. Everybody has moved except Africa. Africa is talking about set to boxes when the world has shifted to computers and mobile phone to watch what we used to call television content. It is no longer prophesy to say that the current TV business model dying and cannot be resuscitated. It is only a matter of time before advertising adopts newer models. Schumpeter's creative destruction theory is in the works here and only those who will listen will survive. The current multiplex operators too will not survive for long. Convergence of ICT and broadcast has started in earnest and we shall see a focus on core business with consolidation of new specialized infrastructure providers. If you see MNOs getting into content then you know content is KING. Viewership is changing from being a slave or controlled by broadcaster schedule to controlling when you want to watch any content. We shall be searching for latest news and only watch what you want to see in a bulletin. Those who will succeed must simply have good local content in several thematic areas, that is, comedy, news, lifestyle etc. There will be different revenue models such that if you want to watch Baba Shirandula or Vioja Mhakamani without pay, then you will have to endure advertising as sponsored by XX otherwise you can subscribe or pay per view without the interruptions. Major advertisers will them selves own channels and compete for good content. This is why we declined to vote for the new ITRs where content providers will heavily pay and pass the cost on to consumers. It is dangerous to have Telcos and bureaucrats in one room to decide new revenue streams in the face of disruptive technologies. We must see every problem as an opportunity. That is why I oppose too much legislation around cyber security. We shall end up curtailing our own freedoms trying to catch a thief who will anyway continue to steal (even with death sentence, we still have thieves around). We must constantly come with new ways of fighting cyber crime through technology not legislation. Ndemo.

It is my sincere hope that on the 13th of December 2013 I will eat humble pie, I am open to an icecream scoop to go with it.

On an aside I now realise that it is actually the government that does not want the migration to digital and are using the mainstream media and COFEK to front the assault.
This is being done to curtail our growing freedoms, with the migration every governor can run his own local channel for only Kes. 1,000,000/- per month which allows them to drawn the voice of the National Government.
The blatant lies by all the TV stations yesterday that turning off the analogue signal in Nairobi will leave over 90% of Kenyans in the dark and CCK has not come out to dispute this just thickens the plot.

Thanks Dkt. A small but important correction to the first paras of your write-up: I suppose the 'ITU forum' you allude to is the recent ITU Telecom World held in Bangkok. In one of the Ministerial Roundtable on Digital Dividends where our Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Matiangi, was a discussant and during Q&A, a Minister from an Africa Country, who was part of the audience, inquired what would happen for countries that did not migrate by the set date. The ITU BR Director , the Roundtable moderator, in response basically reiterated what the Member States of Region 1 (Europe, Africa, Middle East &Iran) had agreed to in a treaty, in sum: that post 2015, digital broadcasts are protected from analogue broadcast interferences from a distance of 200 Km from the boarders, and that any extension could only be granted by Member States through another round of negotiations in a Regional Radiocommunication Conference. It is not true that Africa tried to seek for an extension. The Forum was neither one where such extension could be sought nor even be given. The South African Minister who was also a discussant at that session did not raise the 'postponement proposal' It is equally not empirical to say that 'everybody has moved except Africa'. Many countries/regions are still grappling with challenges such as the ones we face, like resistance from analogue TV broadcasters. Africa has a great deal of challenges, including Africans oftentimes deliberately misrepresenting facts about it. Rgds.

Bwana Omo I think you are entirely missing the point here. 1. Business models are changing rapidly and we have to change with them or we will perish. 2. Too much legislation won't kill cybercrime. For example the notion that CCK can control cybercrime or mitigate against it through forcing local content providers to host locally 3. That we are going to sign the ITRs which we rejected in 2012. 4. That government apparatchiks 'collude' with telcos to set pricing. 5. The fact that we are behind in Digital TV and whether the government or analogue TV Broadcasters like it or not that ship left the port long time ago. These are facts which we as a country must address (govt, private sector and NGOs). Personal attacks not withstanding!

Dr. Ndemo,I go back to Yawe's point: the need to have a platform to discuss the issue of digital migration and even content production. I agree with you that content is the next big thing. However, I have just learnt that Signet (free to air) surcharges a fee of Ksh. 350k per month to carry the content. This is a challenge to such initiatives as Elimu TV. And in as much as there will be different revenue models, I wonder whether the big companies will advertise on the community media channel. What is your take? RgdsGrace Those who will succeed must simply have good local content in several> thematic areas, that is, comedy, news, lifestyle etc. There will be> different revenue models such that if you want to watch Baba Shirandula or> Vioja Mhakamani without pay, then you will have to endure advertising as> sponsored by XX otherwise you can subscribe or pay per view without the> interruptions.

Grace, At the recent ITU forum in Asia, Africa tried to get an extension beyond 2015 but but they were rejected. It was even embarrassing for South Africa to raise the postponement proposal. Reason. Everybody has moved except Africa. Africa is talking about set to boxes when the world has shifted to computers and mobile phone to watch what we used to call television content. It is no longer prophesy to say that the current TV business model dying and cannot be resuscitated. It is only a matter of time before advertising adopts newer models.
Schumpeter's creative destruction theory is in the works here and only those who will listen will survive. The current multiplex operators too will not survive for long. Convergence of ICT and broadcast has started in earnest and we shall see a focus on core business with consolidation of new specialized infrastructure providers.
If you see MNOs getting into content then you know content is KING. Viewership is changing from being a slave or controlled by broadcaster schedule to controlling when you want to watch any content. We shall be searching for latest news and only watch what you want to see in a bulletin.
Those who will succeed must simply have good local content in several thematic areas, that is, comedy, news, lifestyle etc. There will be different revenue models such that if you want to watch Baba Shirandula or Vioja Mhakamani without pay, then you will have to endure advertising as sponsored by XX otherwise you can subscribe or pay per view without the interruptions. Major advertisers will them selves own channels and compete for good content.
This is why we declined to vote for the new ITRs where content providers will heavily pay and pass the cost on to consumers. It is dangerous to have Telcos and bureaucrats in one room to decide new revenue streams in the face of disruptive technologies.
We must see every problem as an opportunity. That is why I oppose too much legislation around cyber security. We shall end up curtailing our own freedoms trying to catch a thief who will anyway continue to steal (even with death sentence, we still have thieves around). We must constantly come with new ways of fighting cyber crime through technology not legislation.

Dear All Digital Migration may be the answer to reach out to marginalized communities with relevant content. Elimu TV wish to reach out to the millions of out of school youth who have done KCSE and because of the many socila challenges could not transit to secondary level. We have developed educational content of five secondary subject with a fund from FIRE. We plan to have life classes in the first year to facilitate continuous development of content and interaction through SMS. We have been in the process of getting sponsors and partners who can enable us pay the 350,000 monthly fee to KBC unfortunately Signet have switched off every digital channel that has not paid so far Elimu being one of them. Signet should facilitate migration by supporting channels that have unique content and have potential of being viewed by very many people in the Country. We are in discussion with various county governments to support TV Schools that will enable access to Elimu TV at community level. Its my prayer and hope that we shall be one of the channels that will be on as Nairobi Migrates to Digital Jane On Monday, December 2, 2013 7:36 AM, "bitange@jambo.co.ke" <bitange@jambo.co.ke> wrote: Grace, As I said, there is madness in this digital migration thing.

This is why I favoured having Signet as a PPP and eventually dispose it to someone whose core business is infrastructure. KBC's core business is content provision. They must begin to aggregate content by all means and create a different revenue model. In the coming days, multiplex operators will start disposing off their infrastructure to firms like Eaton.

Thanks for your response even though it weakens my conspiracy theory as Kivuva puts it but also indicates that there is still a level of commitment towards the migration.

On an aside I now realise that it is actually the government that does not want the migration to digital and are using the mainstream media and COFEK to front the assault.
This is being done to curtail our growing freedoms, with the migration every governor can run his own local channel for only Kes. 1,000,000/- per month which allows them to drawn the voice of the National Government.
The blatant lies by all the TV stations yesterday that turning off the analogue signal in Nairobi will leave over 90% of Kenyans in the dark and CCK has not come out to dispute this just thickens the plot.

Robert. This is a great idea, if Dr. Ndemo agrees, I will provide a venue/platform. We can organize it as a Public Lecture open to the public. Many people do not understand the whole topic, this can be a good opportunity to enlighten many. I would particularly like many of our students to attend and learn more. Regards.

Grace, At the recent ITU forum in Asia, Africa tried to get an extension beyond 2015 but but they were rejected. It was even embarrassing for South Africa to raise the postponement proposal. Reason. Everybody has moved except Africa. Africa is talking about set to boxes when the world has shifted to computers and mobile phone to watch what we used to call television content. It is no longer prophesy to say that the current TV business model dying and cannot be resuscitated. It is only a matter of time before advertising adopts newer models.
Schumpeter's creative destruction theory is in the works here and only those who will listen will survive. The current multiplex operators too will not survive for long. Convergence of ICT and broadcast has started in earnest and we shall see a focus on core business with consolidation of new specialized infrastructure providers.
If you see MNOs getting into content then you know content is KING. Viewership is changing from being a slave or controlled by broadcaster schedule to controlling when you want to watch any content. We shall be searching for latest news and only watch what you want to see in a bulletin.
Those who will succeed must simply have good local content in several thematic areas, that is, comedy, news, lifestyle etc. There will be different revenue models such that if you want to watch Baba Shirandula or Vioja Mhakamani without pay, then you will have to endure advertising as sponsored by XX otherwise you can subscribe or pay per view without the interruptions. Major advertisers will them selves own channels and compete for good content.
This is why we declined to vote for the new ITRs where content providers will heavily pay and pass the cost on to consumers. It is dangerous to have Telcos and bureaucrats in one room to decide new revenue streams in the face of disruptive technologies.
We must see every problem as an opportunity. That is why I oppose too much legislation around cyber security. We shall end up curtailing our own freedoms trying to catch a thief who will anyway continue to steal (even with death sentence, we still have thieves around). We must constantly come with new ways of fighting cyber crime through technology not legislation.
Ndemo.
@ WambuaYawe raises a point that CCK should consider. The need to have a public forum to discuss this TV migration roho safi. There is misconception on this process by many ordinary folks. Lets hope that the courts will dispense with the matter real soon.

Chris,
Thanks for your response even though it weakens my conspiracy theory as Kivuva puts it but also indicates that there is still a level of commitment towards the migration.
I wish we had a public platform that could have the true issues discussed without contravening the laws especially with all the rubbish being peddled by the traditional (shuka and all).
It is my sincere hope that on the 13th of December 2013 I will eat humble pie, I am open to an icecream scoop to go with it.

I am afraid that your allegations regarding our silence on this issue are unfounded and absolutely untrue.
As much as we may wish to, CCK cannot comment on matters before a court of law without running into problems with the law.
We shall nonetheless argue our case in court.

On an aside I now realise that it is actually the government that does not want the migration to digital and are using the mainstream media and COFEK to front the assault.
This is being done to curtail our growing freedoms, with the migration every governor can run his own local channel for only Kes. 1,000,000/- per month which allows them to drawn the voice of the National Government.
The blatant lies by all the TV stations yesterday that turning off the analogue signal in Nairobi will leave over 90% of Kenyans in the dark and CCK has not come out to dispute this just thickens the plot.
