Guys, 

Beauty of digital migration is that its gives customers a choice. 

CA have already licensed many set up boxes that are now available in the market including the GOTV and start-times Set up boxes 

One doesn't have to go for GOTV and Star times Set up box.  But if you do and want to access the FTA without subscription they have given you the open bouquet option.

Alternatively you can get the available set up box that will enable you get all the viable FTA's without having to pay the unlocking fee 

OPTIONS.

Regards

Simon

The Communications Authority of Kenya does say it's a must for
StarTimes and GOtv to carry the three media houses' channels (or
rather, at least 5 free-to-air channels). And StarTimes and GOtv
actually say they're doing it only because they're required to.

But then they're not fulfilling this requirement for their customers
who haven't paid the unlocking fee.
