[kictanet] Is CCK's move to renege on a promise to award a 3rd digital signal distributor license justified?

[Ali Hussein]

In a move that is likely to open up a new battlefront in the Digital TV migration saga in Kenya, CCK announces that it will not after all award a 3rd digital signal distributor license to Kenyan Broadcasters.

Saying that the  international regulatory environment has since changed and that it would be difficult to go ahead with the plan, the DG asked broadcasters to either partner with Signet, a subsidiary of KBC or buy shares in Pan African Network, the other distributor of digital signals.

The Media owners are definitely going to come out fighting.

What's your take?
