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

[Mark Mwangi]

Let us not try and make this a regulatory or policy issue what with
theorizing the pros and cons. Incumbent broadcasters are about to be stuck
with millions worth of obsolete equipment and a cartel that will be
worthless soon enough. it is this investment that they are fighting to
maintain a stranglehold on the industry.

Its a commercial issue plain and simple. I would be amused if the CCK was
to hold its ground and find other stations to fill the incumbents shoes.
Nobody is indispensable.
