Right now, even those who didn't know anything about the migration, within n beyond Nairobi, are now aware there is sth they are supposed to do to watch TV. All of a sudden, the digital boxes vendors will get Customers. And in the middle of the confusion, those interested in selling them will up their marketing A needy child's education depends on you.

And now they are blackmailing kenyans?

Rank: Elder Joined: 10/9/2008 Posts: 5,389		C&P Under digital broadcasting, rather than each broadcaster investing in their own signal distribution, most countries including Kenya have opted to license shared signal distributors separate from content broadcasters. The move has lowered the entry to broadcasting as all one needs to be a TV broadcaster currently is content, either a link to a signal distributor or space at the signal distributor and a leased channel. The total cost comes down to less than KSh. 100,000 a month. The first of two signal distribution license was issued to Signet, currently operating under state owned Kenya Broadcasting Communication. Local broadcasters bidded separately for the second distributor and lost to the Pan African Group. Ministry of Information and Communication Permanent Secretary, Dr. Bitange Ndemo says he advised local broadcasters to form a consortium to bid for the second license, but they disregarded his advice. After losing the bid, the local broadcasters came together and have been lobbying the government for a joint third license.
