Potential game changer or what? Safaricom has applied for iptv license.I see stations folding up or shaping up in the near future.they have also applied for fta license.

Unless they buy out Multichoice Football rights, they will be just like any other TV station around.

anything safcom is not cheap…

Their decoder was a non-starter. I really don’t expect them to make it in the Kenyan market.

Not necessarily. Football is not all there is in television. There are very many Kenyans who would be delighted to discover quality television programming.

Bottom line it IPTV nia ya kunyonya bundles tu just like any other porn site I watch (especially Xhamster.com:D)
So the IPTV will be competing with a trillion others. Its not a game changer to me. I would like to call it Game Shenzi.

As long as they sell bundles, it’ll flop just like their STB.

No gamechanger. Last kicks of a dying horse since Equitel entered the market. They started with STB, then it flopped, sasa hii.

IPTV will be hard if they do not accompany it with affordable residential broadband.
