[kictanet] Digital TV migration postponement

[robert yawe]

Hi,


It was with shock and dismay that I watched the CCK director general lie to the public on a mass broadcast on the reasons for the postponement of the cutoff to digital.

He said the reason was that the cost of decoders was still too high for the common mwanainchi, he then proceed to lie by saying that the average price was currently Kes. 6,500/-, yet the price for the StarTimes decoder is 3,499/- and that of GoTV is Kes. 3,999/-.

When I was in school many years ago the formula for calculating average was the sum of the numbers divided by the number of numbers (3,499 + 3,999)/2 = 3,749/- so which formula was the DG using?

What has incensed me more is that none of the members of the press has taken up the issue instead they have "liked" and "shared" the comments as if they where gospel truth.

Regards

PS.  Have an analog Christmas
