[kictanet] Cofek to sue CCK for defaulting on television deal

[Grace Githaiga]

@ Ali, so this option 2 means there is going to be a monthly charge for the FTA channels? If this is the case, then Lucy's house manager is right.

Startimes has had an Ad running where they are offering two options
1. FTA one which I think is substantially higher. I think almost 5k2. Subscription one which is like 2k.

This report seems to contradict CCK's communications manager Mr.
Wambua who said today on another thread on this list that all
subscriber-based digital set boxes have FTA channels for end users who
don't want to pay subscription fees

“Customers who fail to pay subscription fees on time will
continue to access the must-carry free-to-air services (FTA) for a
period of at least two weeks,” read a letter from CCK director-general
Francis Wangusi (pictured, below left) to pay-TV providers.
Through
 the letter, CCK is reneging on an earlier agreement with Cofek that
made it compulsory for pay-TV companies to give subscribers access to
all free-to-air channels, even without a paid-up subscription.
This
 agreement saw the providers introduce a new range of decoders that
would allow customers view all the FTA channels – KBC, NTV, KTN, K24 and
 Citizen TV for free.
