Gerrard59: I tell you, Nigerians calling for pay per view are just too emotional, they don't know they will pay even more. The Govt is just setting them up, let them ask the former Econet man now Kwese Tv how he is faring in the industry. Nigerians should stop being envious, DStv bouquet prices are fair, because you see them ride cars and build fine office complex doesn't mean they are not sweating it out somewhere, it's a private company and d industry is very capital intensive. 7 Likes |

I'm not too sure about government's direct market interference in the price of their services as being ideal because it could afftect quality, which in this case means content. Also to have an anti trust battle there has to be competition which the perpetrator is undermining. In this case, DSTV has no active competitor in the Digital Sattelite market which is so sophisticated even government cannot possibly stimulate alternatives. Some adversaries simply cannot be defeated by confrontation as I always tell those I mentor. Create a niche, work hard to deliver an excellent product or service, reinvest almost every reward in efficiency and you will reign perpetually. No matter how Iran hates the west and America specifically if they have to fly they must fork out scarce forex to buy American and Western aircraft because there are no viable options. Pre-Musk, if America wanted to visit their real estate in space they needed to fly Russian rockets no matter how vile Putin was. Since we cannot compete, we cannot control and the only thing left is for market forces of supply and demand to burn DSTV out. They will sooner or later hit peak demand and peak price. By then our own Elon Musk's will be ready to 'Coup de Grace'. 2 Likes |

Righteousness89:Not true. I can talk about DSTV sub prices in South Africa ( the headquarters of multichoice), and they are at least 2000 naira more than what people pay in Nigeria. So it’s possible that Nigerians pay one of the lowest Sub prices across Africa. 4 Likes |

yinkus6750:Sorry, we are not in a communist state. You can't tell people what to buy. If you are poor, you shouldn't be buying cable TV and begging the government to help you out. Rather than throwing tantrums like kids every other 3 months, let those idiotic government officials ban multichoice so you can enjoy your second-rate cables. 3 Likes |

This is just a joke on Nigerians coming from the federal government!.. Why saying this? It's not by force to watch dstv for crying out loud? Why can't this government be proactive and responsible to there job? If you provide the citizens enabling environment i. e power, good road, housing etc what do we need this shit dstv for? Is that our priority? If the cost of purchasing power is friendly to everyone including the rate at which we can afford say like 100gb for #1000 everyone would switch to watching news and movies on the go via internet, then we won't have any for dstv, government needs to wake up to there responsibility. 3 Likes |

ezenwajosh: TSTV killed themselves. Government was ready to back them, even to the point of offering tax break for 5 years, 1.TSTV went and pirated BeIN signals.....nearly getting BeIN into serious legal and financial trobule. 2.TSTV came with promises they could not keep (like offering data with their decoder, like that' was going to happen. Not even DSTV offers data with decoder) 3.TSTV had weak offerings, apart from football. Nigerians don't get cable only for football. 2 Likes |

Xisnin: Yes o...I am seeing the lie that MTN was having a monopoly, as if Econet(later Celtel, then Zain, and Airtel now), Mtel and (after 2005) Glo did not exist. Nitel also was still around for sometime. Then there were CDMA operators like Starcoms, Reltel, and Intercellular (sadly now all defunct). 1 Like |

Kobicove: Was that really what happened or hitv was out bidded for the exclusive premier league right. Even dstv that as been long in existence bearly survived that year 200? hitv took the right exclusively. A prompt govt intervention could have safe the day, even if its mean sharing d right 60-40. What killed hitv was not misappropriation of funds like you insinuated buh rather lack of funds to match an established firm. infants firms are suppose to enjoy protect, support & intervention from govt. |
