Hi all,<div><br></div><div>It is apparent from the Rwanda decision that we all need to interrogate the DVB-T2 issue further and with the Kenyan context in mind.</div><div><br></div><div>It might therefore only be fair to invite the Chinese company to such a forum to defend themselves so that CCK official and the Ministry are saved from the awkward position of always having to defend the Chinese.</div>
<div><br></div><div>While that is being negotiated, maybe those in the know (CCK & Ministry) can clarify the context:</div><div> </div><div>1). Will Signet upgrade to DVB-T2 in time? Is the needed funding available for them to catch-up now that DVB-T they set-up was shelved?</div>
<div><br></div><div>2). Will PANG meet the DVB-T2 obligation? Will they be the only DVB-T2 provider if Signet fails, once again, to meet it's public obligations?</div><div><br></div><div>Once the context is clarified, we can discuss details.</div>

best would be to even get the reasons behind such move. We all remember that at
one time NTV had been banned from broadcasting in Uganda for reasons that are
well known. NMG had also problems with Tanzanian authorities. If the intention
is to inform, rather malign, let’s get the story with its context. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

Subject: Link from rwanda Government Indicating Revocation of Radio License<br>
<br>
<br>
For the Record.<br>
<br>
On Saturday the Rwandese ambassador said that only an ISP license was cancelled
from Star Times. In good faith, our writers took him at his word and published
a correction to the Friday article.<br>
Well, here is the link to the Rwandese government website confirming that a
radio license issued to Star Times was actually revoked.<br>
