<div dir="ltr">@ robert you are being rather ominous in your hasty conclusions. All you have displayed is that there is conflict which we all know is basically the cartel that is media owners fighting back and trying to control the new medium. Mutoro exercised his right as a citizen and we await the courts ruling. <div>
<br></div><div style>Conflict is goo in my opinion as it allows for the market to self correct. it is akin to a close election which forces the winner to accommodate the opposing side due to the slim margin with which he/she won. </div>
<div style><br></div><div style>If the courts allow the analog signal to be switched off, then the media owners will either close their business or hop back unto signet. Which of the two do you think the shareholders will stomach?</div>

<br>I assure you with all this shenanigans going on His Excellency Wairia will be putting up his analogue TV station with the claim that so long as the signal remains within his jurisdiction he does not need to get approval from CCK or any
one else and that will be the continuation of the end of the digital migration activity.<br><br>Note that COFEK have stopped the turning off of any analogue signal therefore CCK will be powerless in stopping Hi Excellency Mr. Wairia, he also would not install a digital station as it would mean forcing the poor citizens of Murang'a to purchase digital decoders which would then defeat the objective of having a widespread platform for the dissemination of County Government policies.<br>
<br>Digital migration is on its death bed, now I understand why the Media Owners are fighting the to retain their analogue frequencies.<div class="im"><br><br>Regards<br> <br><div>Robert Yawe<br>KAY System Technologies Ltd<br>

<div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif">Hi Listers,<br><br>A statement by the Governor of Muranga county is concerning, he says the county is to put up its own TV and Radio station, if they install an analogue system and the other counties do the same then what is the fate of the digital migration deadline? <br>
<br>The entire process will have no effect if only the 48th county (National Government, which is virtual) decides to implement the requirements of the migration.<br><br>However much we keep talking about the international migration deadline how do we shutoff a station that is still transmitting in analogue? Unlike an migration say to IPv6 which can be effected worldwide the same is not possible with TV broadcast signals.<br>
<br>With the issues of autonomy being propagated by the governors, it will only be a matter of time before they declare
frequencies allocation and operations a devolved function.<br><br>Regards <br><br><div>Robert Yawe<br>KAY System Technologies Ltd<br>Phoenix House, 6th Floor<br>P O Box 55806 Nairobi, 00200<br>Kenya<br><br></div><div>Tel: +254722511225, +254202010696</div>
