Then again, they are not the same; two licenses are at play
(Self provisioning license - They cannot transmit third party content, only their content) (Broadcast Signal Distributor - They transmit third party content, are ideally not content providers)
DSTV which transmits as GoTV - *Self provisioning license* PANG which transmits as PANG also owns Startimes - *Broadcast Signal Distributor* BAMBA - radio africa group - *Self provisioning license* SIGNET- an arm of KBC - *Broadcast Signal Distributor* then finally we have ADNC -*Self provisioning license*
Now, the big question is why would ADNC be interested in signal distribution since they cannot offer it as a service and hence will only incur additional cost of network maintenance without any revenues generated.
