[kictanet] COFEK ADVISORY ON DIGITAL MIGRATION - NOVEMBER 25, 2014

[Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK)]

Fellow Consumers,

 

The Consumers Federation of Kenya (Cofek) wishes to advise all Kenyan TV
owners and viewers that the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) will
soon announce the analogue TV signal switch-off. It is our position that
Kenya will finally "Go Digital" on or by December 31, 2014 for Nairobi and
nearby Counties, in the first phase. Related to this, we would like to
advise as follows;

 

(a)    It is in your interest to clearly understand and appreciate what
#DigitalMigration is and what it is not.

 

(b)   #DigitalMigration will affect the way we communicate and relate to
each other. It has technical, legal and socio-economic implications.

 

(c)    Working with partners in Government, Private Sector and Development
Partners, Cofek is now engaging in consumer education across the country. We
invite partner support particularly from ICT professionals who would be
willing to volunteer of their time. 

 

(d)   We recommend that you plan to buy your Set-Top Box (STB) in good time.
If you are unsure what to buy, from where and how much, please contact us

 

(e)    #DigitalMigration is not compulsory. But if you don't have a STB
gadget you will be unable to continue enjoying your popular Free-To-Air
(FTA) channels

 

(f)    You can "follow us" on Twitter - @ConsumersKenya)  and "Like us" on
Facebook page for updates on #DigitalMigration

 

(g)    In the meantime, if you have burning questions on the
#DigitalMigration, please contact us;
