Wainaina Mungai via kictanet <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke" target="_blank">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><p dir="ltr">With all the undesirable activity surrounding Digital Migration process in Kenya, I have been hesitant to comment. However, as a former Chairman of the Assembly of Broadcasting Operators in EACO, it has escalated to a call of duty. I start by recognising that the Director General of Communications Authority is under obligation to be the firm referee in ending the confusion caused by an unproductive confrontation between stakeholders. Even where we may differ on certain aspects of the regulatory action, the CA has today played its role in a decisive manner.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It should therefore become clear to Kenyan broadcasters that they need to develop Policy Engagement and Regulatory Compliance roles within their organisational structures. Not to rely on fire fighting or litigation. I have severally advised that not every dispute needs to end up in litigation or degenerate to level of unproductive contests were are being treated to in the latest dispute. We must seek to resolve issues in the Boardroom - not the Court Room. Litigation by broadcasters is growing into a business risk issue and, on many occassions, the outcome has proved counterproductive.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Many of these battles in Kenya's broadcasting subsector point to weakened engagement either due to inability or unwillingness to comply. For instance, why would the clearly unethical advertisements run before Type-Approval of the STB/decoder had been obtained? Why would an infomercial be obsessively and repeatedly played against PayTV operators who are potential advertising clients - business partners who also deliver Free to Air channels on their Free to Air decoders?</p>
<p dir="ltr">The media in Kenya has for long underutilised the many channels of negotiation as relates to Policy and Regulation. They have historically been absent from public forums and multistakeholder processes such as the National ICT Policy development process. The broadcasters have been late in comments to National Spectrum Policy or to the sector Regulation. They have prefered instead to engage in the singular refrain about #PressFreedom and #MuzzlingThePress even in cases where 'the shoe doesn't fit'. The immediate response by media houses to the CA decision has already began to take the same #FreedomOfthePress tone that repeatedly weakens their capacity to develop preventive mechanisms and less confrontational approaches to dispute resolution. </p>
<p dir="ltr">A win-win approach to the Digital Migration disputes would have seen Kenya lead the continent in the process. In the spirit of fair competition, it was therefore not proper for traditional Kenyan broadcasters to have celebrated the cancellation of the PANG/Startimes licence by the Court of Appeal in mid 2014. The reversal of the decision by the Supreme Court in September 2014 provided an opportunity for broadcasters to engage with the regulator (and all other stakeholders) in a win-win arrangement for their respective businesses and for the country. There are many players in the Digital TV space who hope for an end perennial disputes whose origins and motivation do not seize to confound. They include importers of set top boxes, new Digital TV stations such as 3Stones TV and many others whose views are seemingly disregarded by the Consortium of 3 broadcasters. </p>
<p dir="ltr">May this be the opening of a new chapter in Kenya's broadcasting sector - an opportunity to heal old wounds suffered under past regimes and to appreciate the value of the Boardroom as opposed to the Court Room. Let the broadcasters put aside the characteristic chest thumping and have positive engagements with the regulator and other stakeholders as was proposed by the Supreme Court. </p>

The said advertisement purports that Startimes and GOtv are illegally carrying their content thereby infringing on copyright and neighbouring rights. The advertisement goes farther to instruct consumers not to purchase Startimes and GOtv pay-tv set-top boxes to watch CITIZEN Television, NTV, KTN and QTV. In addition, the advertisement allege that the three media houses are the exclusive vendors of Free-To-Air set-top-boxes that can enable the public to view their channels</span><u></u><u></u></p></div><div style="margin-bottom:4.5pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:14.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#141823">The Authority is gravely concerned by the misleading content in the advertisement and wishes to advise the industry and the general public as follows:</span><u></u><u></u></p></div><div style="margin-bottom:4.5pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:14.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#141823">1.

The digital migration framework allows for the distribution of the ‘Free-to-Air’ signals on the digital platform under the “must-carry principle” . This was supported by the ruling of the Supreme Court of Kenya in September 2014 . It allowed for the availability of Free-to-Air channels to the public through all set-top-boxes (FTA and Pay TV). The advertisement dissuading consumers from purchasing set-top-boxes from other suppliers approved by the Authority is therefore misleading to the public and portrays anti-competitive conduct by the three media houses. Consumers need not be constrained to purchase a specific set top box to view the content of the three broadcasters whose content is Free-to Air;</span><u></u><u></u></p></div><div style="margin-bottom:4.5pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:14.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#141823">4. The Authority has type-approved more than 65 set top boxes which are available in the market today.

The full list of approved set top boxes and registered vendors can be freely accessed on the Authority’s website;</span><u></u><u></u></p></div><div style="margin-bottom:4.5pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:14.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#141823">6.

The Authority has also received a formal complaint from Gotv and Startimes that the three media houses have refused to Air their digital-migration related advertisements which is potentially an anti-competitive conduct prohibited by law. While this complaint has not been investigated, the Authority notes with concern that it has itself been a victim of such refusal to carry advertisements both in the electronic and print media owned by the three media houses, yet the advertisements are aimed at educating the public on digital migration.</span><u></u><u></u></p></div><div style="margin-bottom:4.5pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:14.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#141823">In view of these gross violations by the three media houses as enumerated above, the Authority has decided to take the following administrative actions:</span><u></u><u></u></p></div><div style="margin-bottom:4.5pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:14.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#141823">1.
