bigass: Erm! Read my post carefully, I did not say CDNs provide internet, I in fact said Netflix should have a CDN on the Nigerian ISP network 1 Like |

abhosts:Stop generalizing based on one network. The challenge of high speed internet access in Africa won't go away overnight. The cost of ISP service can't be same for europe where the backbone of internet is at and Africa where ISP have to run cable and maintain thousand of miles of fibre optic cable. 1 Like |

bidemi12: They stream, not necessarily download. Even for naija here, my network provider have me extra 25gb as Xmas bonus, so I had 50gb of data for December. I finished in under 3 weeks..mostly for streaming . |

tsdarkside: something like this is being done in many locals in nigeria so it could still work one person with the money buys DSTVdecoder (full subscription) then others in the compound or within the streets pay like 2k-5k depending on the distance (for installation the bus connector and cables) with N500 - N1000 monthly to the owner of the DSTVdecoder. Though there are some disadvantages but everybody within the community is viewing in there homes(mainly sports stations) without paying huge 16k charge for what you don't watch all the time It's was part of the reason Dstv brought Gotv, but still no better sport station in it 1 Like 1 Share |

MTN offers fibre optics in some locations and those guys are using Netflix. And it's not expensive. 1 Like |

bidemi12: Yes it's quite a lot, but believe me when u gave fast internet u wont know when u exceed that cap. For example 4 people might have smartphone, and all 4 streaming different movies at the same time. Some people can watch a while 19 episodde season back to back on Netflix. Some even leave it running while they go to the store, they come back and rewind. It's not just Netflix, there's YouTube, etc. People are actually ditching cable TV for streaming in advanced countries. That's why streaming devices like apple TV, roku, amazon fire and Google Chromecast are becoming popular. 1 Like |

lanchy: Ok. but how would this help us access it cheaply and easily since users will still need internet to access it ? |

TonySpike:Well, I wasnt expecting it to be accurate. I know it's the same. That's why I said it depends on the protocol used. If youre using UDP, then streaming is gonna be a lot cheaper than downloading. You can check it out. |
