A SNEAKY LIL BIRD FLEW PAST WITH A MSG FOR ME DIS PAST WEEK. A COMPANY IN NIGERIA IS DISCREETLY BUILDING UPLINK FACILITIES TO BROADCAST NAIJA CHANNELS ON ASTRA. IT IS SAID THEY REPLANNING ON ROLLING OUT A STB MANUFACTURING PLANTS SOMEWIA IN THE COUNTRY.AND STAKE HOLDERS HAVE STRATED SCAMPPERING FOR STAKES.

THE TECHY CRUX IS DIS

SOME PROPONENTS ARE SAYING NAIJA SHLD GO THE IPTV WAY INSTED OF TRADITIONAL ENCODERS AND MULTIPLEXERS, SOME SAY WE SHLD ACTUALLY GO THE WAY OF INTEGRATING BOTH TECHNOLOGIES-IPTV+DTH ON THE SAME PLATFORM

MY QUESTION ARE:

1. OW POSSIBLE IS THIS THEORY-INTEGRATING DTH WITH IPTV (WILL WE ORDERING ENCODERS DAT SUPPORT IP, WAT ABOUT THE STB'S-WILL DEY BE AN ALL-IN-ONE KIND?)

2. AND OW READY ARE WE IN NIGERIA FOR DIS KIND OF DIGITAL MOVE
