They should but they never believed streaming devices would threaten their business model. I remember a few years ago they were at the height of their powers. Increasing charges as they felt
You are right they are late yes but this move is quite smart. Vile nimeona ni kama kila mtu hapa ni kama ako na netflix it’s a no brainer that similarly Kenyans won’t mind streaming the EPL.
But ni risky sana because this is the digital realm wacha hivyo wanasumbua watu wa kusambaza wire. Hio EPL itakuwa very accessible sasa. Question is, are they ready to share?
Wacha wakule ujeuri wao. Kuna customer care staff wao hapo T Mall walikuwa wanajiskia sukari sana a few year ago. Walinipangisha line for two hours nikitaka kununua remote. Siku ingine nikaambia the fuckers who man their facebook page to consider pay-per-view. Nilijibiwa nikakunja mkia. Ona sasa.
Not yet. Safcom is currently rolling out a higher faster version of 4G+ by Huawei. That platform is the foundation for 5G network as it reduces the cost, installation and implementation timelines considerably.
On 5G eyes right now are on CoK who have sent a technical and policy team to China to study its implementation there. They will come formulate the policy for the service rollout here by 2021-2022.
On DSTV they delayed and their biggest threat isn’t within. Its technology and bigger players globally. Streaming services in europe, usa and asia are now buying rights to air popular shows, sports and entertainment globally. They are also not constrained by territories. For example next year you can subscribe to a streaming service in India that has rights to EPL and watch it here in Kenya. For $10 a month or $100 a year.
Hakuna haja ya Android box. Kama ukona Smart tv, unaingia free streaming websites na simu alafu unarusha premier league kwa tv kupitia tv cast apps. DSTV wakwende huko.
