<div dir="ltr">@wambua, <div>I guess my question is on the issue of the 3rd signal distibution license.. Why not award it to the players crying foul and asking for it? Might it be because the two awardees could not survive without content from these players if they focused their content on their own distribution network? Might that explain why Digital migration has not taken off as effectively (because it lacks prime movers). </div>
