Poor MultiChoice, the owner of DStv and GOtv: “The Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal has fined prominent Pay-TV operator Multichoice Nigeria N150 million for disobeying its order on a case involving subscription price increases for DStv and GOtv packages. The tribunal, led by Justice Thomas Okosu, also ordered Multichoice to offer Nigerian customers a one-month free subscription.”
Of course, watching European footballers kick round leather is our constitutional right. MutiChoice is having limited choices to remain in Nigeria because the high voltage attack is unprecedented and the fact that it lost $190.5 million in the latest result in Nigeria
People accuse it of not offering pay per view (PPV) without knowing that PPV is not like dividing your monthly bill by the number of minutes in a month, and you can pay when watching. If someone offers PPV, there is going to be surge pricing on special games which may even make you pay in an hour your monthly regular bill!

I am still waiting for when the court will rule against banks (central and commercial) for hiking interest rates or go against the Senators for jumbo allowances. Who can rule against the increase of USD dollars, petrol prices, food prices, etc since we can rule against MultIchoice increasing its prices?
And those pushing this, can we do the Air Peace model on Lagos-London routes for football games? Raise money and go to Europe for TV rights! They can accept Naira and Kobo on Sundays!
