[kictanet] Yawe migrates to Digital TV

[robert yawe]

Hi Daktari,

Now that I have migrated I am more interested with what is going on.

There is a bit of confusion about the free to air channels are they to remain available or not?

Regards

Robert,
Thank you for being a great Ambassador.  With competition you are going to
see the price of set top drom to as little as Ksh. 500.  I hear some with
conditional access will be offering popular bouque of some 50 channels for
$2 (two) dollars a month.

I know of new venacular entrants coming in in less than a month.  More
content will also come from edutainment which in my view from what I have
seen is world class.  Perhaps this may be the greatest opportunity to
revive our own lanuages.


Regards


Ndemo.
