Dio1: That is not the point. We know that you must have the rights to broadcast BPL. The bill does not stop DSTV from obtaining the rights. With the bill passed into law, it means we would no longer have to be restricted to bouquets. We would actually pay only for stations we want to watch. So nothing like all those rubbish bouquets. Just select the channels you want and pay for only those channels. 1 Like |

Koolmexxi:DSTV will never sell the rights to live coverages. They know that will kill them. Why will Ngerians go to DSTV direct when they can get it from Star times thats cheaper? The sincere truth is the laws needs to be lessened for others. And in 2019 when the bidding is reopen for premier league rights, you will see DSTV won't have 100% regardless of whether the bill(s) is/are passed into law or not. If Star Times can get the rights to the Bundesliga from DSTV, they can get part of the EPL rights from them as well. |

they have started again, is just a scam to collect money from dstv. they know dstv will come and lobby them to sweep the matter under the carpet. members of the lower and upper chamber don't pay subscription for dstv, rather dstv give them yrly commission, why will they bite the finger that feed them. na today we they hear such motions. |

South African broadcaster awarded live TV rights for three seasons from 2016/17 SuperSport's Alvin Naicker on why BPL Live in Johannesburg was such a success in South Africa The Premier League is pleased to announce that Supersport has been awarded its broadcasting rights in sub-Saharan Africa for seasons 2016/17 to 2018/19. Supersport is the Premier League’s current broadcast partner in the region, and has broadcast the competition since its first season in 1992/93. The agreement includes exclusive rights for sub-Saharan Africa. NBC Sports awarded live rights >> “We are extremely pleased that Supersport has chosen to invest in our broadcasting rights in sub-Saharan Africa for seasons 2016/17 to 2018/19," Premier League Executive Chairman, Richard Scudamore, said. "Supersport is a long-term partner of the Premier League and has an excellent track record of delivering high-quality coverage of our competition for fans in the region." The Premier League will conduct a separate sales process for a free-to-air package in sub-Saharan Africa which includes the rights to broadcast one live fixture per match-round. I was sure I had read this before http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/2015-16/aug/120815-premier-league-awards-supersport-sub-saharan-broadcast-rights.html |

talktimi: South Africa is wise enough to 'support' their own companies like DSTV and MTN to take the continent. Nigeria as a nation hardly supports anyone. Read the words carefully - the bill will only give room to enforce penalties. The reps want to reap where they have not sown. If they mean well, I guess they should be looking at how to provide the needed capital to support the Nigerian initiative. There is really no monopoly there today. StarTimes is chinese, DSTV is South African. If you pull down the South Africans, the Chinese will take over. We are going round in circles. The parliament is not shedding the pulldown mentality. Where is the PIB? Where are those other cogent and urgent bills? Who cares about DSTV? 2 Likes |

yommys01:Bro i completely agree with u.... The only close competition to DSTV for now is startimes. And the only difference is that Dstv has Bpl and Laliga, whereas StarTimesNG hasn't, i strongly believe that in 2019 when the bidding reopens for those leagues, Dstv won't have 100 percent rights to them, cos for StarTimesNG to take away the Bundesliga Seria A and Ligue 1 from Dstv, then u know they are ready fof business. 1 Like |

We need to be careful though...it's not like I'm against the bill but to these foreign investors it seems like we're witch-hunting them.Think about it, the ongoing saga between MTN and NCC...now DSTV. This outfits gave jobs to Nigerians, jobs our government are struggling to provide. Let's not make Nigeria a hostile ground for foreign investors when we ourselves ain't doing much for our own. 2 Likes |

Muyiii: Someone has said that blacks do not think far! We are now seeking to kill the Africa Rennaisance project. African nations are jostling to give their economies to crooked partners. Take DSTV and MTN - do you know how many Nigerians are gainfuly employed, well trained and equipped by these companies? Go to any chinese firms and you'll likely see that Nigerians are only used as labourers, cooks, mai guard and drivers. When will Africa rise, when will we start thinking? As one former head of state once said, the political elite are Nigeria's number one problem. It is really obvious and they themselves know it. 4 Likes |

Sanity is coming at last. For long dstv has dictated most of the content of what we watch on sattelite tv and how we watch it, and at what price. Watch them slash prices, introduce more content and channels. But we want pay per view as obtained elsewhere. But this is a good start. |

Dee60: You've said it all and I'm impressed. As much as most Nigerians don't really like South Africans because of their acts ....Hey I'm in South Africa, I was offered a PhD admission early last year (Tuition free) and just last December I was offered a job also as a part-time lecturer in my school. How often does these happen in our own country? We don't need hostile policies or bills. Thanks Bro...you nailed it. |

What I see so far is flowery colourful and general language glossed over the details. The Bill is actually vague on what it intends to do that the other posters are left to guess it's contents and effects. My fear is these people might create legal atmosphere hostile even to startups and possible competitors. And antitrust legislations are intensely complex that cover the entire economy. With the ease in which the bill sails through it's stages and it's vague aims, I am afraid not much preparation and research was carried out. |

Black man with his mental handicap will always prove a hard thing to overcome. There is no monopoly anywhere. DSTV lost the right to transmit EPL for 3 Years after one of such cry of ignorance in time past but regained it due to competitiveness. Let HiTV go improve. They were busy analysing EPL like Nwanyanwu National vs Wikki Tourist. |

grandstar: No-one in the right minds takes a loan from Nigerian banks. They have other ways to source for loans, they just don't broadcast it. And yes, I mean they get proper investments and loans. There are people in Nigeria who handle venture capitalism for foreigners and Nigerians with deep pockets. And international loans exist. TV licenses is a long-term business. If you're hoping to breakthrough in less than 5-10 years, wrong business for you. 1 Like |
