Wananchi is proposing that DSTV should not have sole rights / monopoly on content especially that content being EPL. If these rights are shared amongst content providers, I believe TV in Kenya and Africa at large will stand a chance for competition thus opening up more investments.

@John - Not necessarily the highest bidder. For example, in the case of EPL, the Government of Nigeria did petition the EPL that Multichoice has not right to say they are negotiating on behalf of Nigeria, and since there were alternatives with good viewership, the EPL agreed, and that is why there is SuperSport 3Ni which mostly doesn't broadcast all EPL matches since they do not have the full rights. ./Ok3ch On Thu, Mar 29, 2012 at 11:36 AM, John Doe <fivepings@gmail.com> wrote:

Samsung TV is coming in August 2012 in Kenya with 30 free channels... It's entirely free and will be available on their new Samsung LED TV which will have a built-in decoder (until Multichoice try to change the law as in South Africa broadcasting free TV by satellite is forbidden) Read article on Standard - http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/sports/InsidePage.php?id=2000054901&cid=456 And yes DSTV sucks !! Monopoly, price increase... by the way, did they kept the dollar at 86 during the shilling plunge, I don't remember ?? Any of you tried the Sony Internet TV... was really interested especially to see movies on YouTube but I haven't check yet, is their a browser Flash enable in the TV to check other video websites ??

Curious question here, are those satellites covering East Africa? According to a contributor on wikipedia Astra 2A only does SD which really is not going to look terrific on those amazing led lit panels. About ASTRA 4B there isn't that much information about it, hence questioning about its coverage. Someone on this list on one of my previous rants had mentioned BskyB having its content available in Kenya, could this be it?

Samsung TV is coming in August 2012 in Kenya with 30 free channels... It's entirely free and will be available on their new Samsung LED TV which will have a built-in decoder (until Multichoice try to change the law as in South Africa broadcasting free TV by satellite is forbidden)
Read article on Standard - http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/sports/InsidePage.php?id=2000054901&cid=456
And yes DSTV sucks !! Monopoly, price increase... by the way, did they kept the dollar at 86 during the shilling plunge, I don't remember ??
Any of you tried the Sony Internet TV... was really interested especially to see movies on YouTube but I haven't check yet, is their a browser Flash enable in the TV to check other video websites ??

@John - Not necessarily the highest bidder. For example, in the case of EPL, the Government of Nigeria did petition the EPL that Multichoice has not right to say they are negotiating on behalf of Nigeria, and since there were alternatives with good viewership, the EPL agreed, and that is why there is SuperSport 3Ni which mostly doesn't broadcast all EPL matches since they do not have the full rights.

Wananchi is proposing that DSTV should not have sole rights /
monopoly on
content especially that content being EPL. If these rights are shared amongst content providers, I believe TV in Kenya and Africa at large will stand a chance for competition thus opening up more investments.

Another thread on the failure in the full migration to digital Tv,

these sideshows.
Sometime back, the CCK rubbished attempts remarks by Nzioka Waita on his attempts at "bulldozing" the regulator into freeing radio spectrum frequencies.
They should learn from FCC here http://goo.gl/Njaiv.
