Jane, thank you for this. I need to understand something, do a digital
content provider like ElimuTV need to pay all digital signal providers for
them to be accessible by all set-top boxes? My understanding is if I buy
any box (say Samsutech set-top box), I will be able to watch all
non-subscription based TV stations. As per your email, it seems a content
provider has to pay all licensed digital carriers. This is is a very
expensive way of distributing content.
Let me understand, if you only paid Signet to carry your content, I would
not be able to access it via Startimes set-top box?
There is something fundamentally wrong with how we have structured policy
around the digital migration and we need to clearly define a set of
principles that must be adhered to by all players.
Regards

Warm Greetings Jane,
Thank you for the enlightenment.
It begs why some of the industry leaders would not be at the forefront driving this agenda (unless it means it doesn't serve their shareholders interests) and my take is that this matter is what flips the industry in this generation.There has got to be a very good explanation to this, the dots do not seem to join.
I view this as hospitals insisting their Doctors will only use scapel and "knife" for surgeries while newer non-invasive preventive care means or technologically driven gadgets are available.
Jane, as Kivuva has requested could you enlighten us on how this whole thing works or should work. Other countries. Tafadhali as it seems the matter is too emotive for sombre non-biased input from players in the sector. Ahsante!
Have a blessed day and weekend ahead!
Regards/Wangari
