The Nation Newspaper ATCIS, FCCPC wade into Multichoice tariff hike
The Association of Telephone, Cable TV and Internet Subscribers of Nigeria have urged the Federal Government to intensify efforts to end Multichoice Nigeria’s monopoly of the Pay Television market, following a 25 percent upward price review by the company which takes effect from May 1, 2024.
The National President, ATCIS, Mr Sina Bilesanmi, while reacting to the new DSTV and GOtv tariff hike, equally noted that government needed to level the playing field for other companies looking to enter the Cable TV market. He argued that Nigeria needed new international investors, who would be willing to bring in ‘Pay-Per-View’ options to end MuItichoice monopoly.
“The sad truth is that they keep increasing tariff but giving us repetitive programmes to watch, there is nothing new on DSTV and GOtv,” he said.
