The House of Representatives moved on Tuesday to contain the “arbitrary” subscription rates charged by Multichoice for its Digital Satellite Television services in the country.

The House observed that high pricing by Dstv had made access to its “premium” programming difficult for the majority of Nigerians.

It also noted that lack of competition in the digital satellite broadcast industry had encouraged a monopoly giving firms such as Multichoice the “undue advantage” of blocking the efforts of other firms to enter the market and crash prices.

Lawmakers particularly opposed a “rigid” subscription policy that permanently billed subscribers “whether they are at home viewing programmes or not.”

A bill to stop such stranglehold on the industry passed second reading at the House on Tuesday.

The bill, which was sponsored by a member from Adamawa State, Mrs. Aisha Dahiru-Modibbo, sought to amend the National Broadcasting Commission Act to guarantee openness and competition in the industry.

The long title of the bill reads, “A Bill for an Act to Amend the National Broadcasting Commission Act to Provide for Competition in Nigeria, to Promote Efficiency and Expand Opportunities for Participation of Nigerians in World Markets, while at the same time recognising the Role of Foreign Competition in Nigeria and for other Matters Related thereto.”

Leading the debate on the bill, Dahiru-Modibbo said while Nigeria was not against foreign participation in the local economy but such involvement should not be to the detriment of Nigerians.

She noted that there were indigenous firms which could also render premium satellite broadcast programming to Nigerians, but complained that “deliberate actions” by monopolies stifled the firms.

“In every country, measures are taken to protect the people.

“What is happening to us in Nigeria does not happen elsewhere on the continent.

“It is high time our regulatory body, the NBC was positioned to protect Nigerians from this arbitrary actions,” she stated.

The House Deputy Leader, Mr. Leo Ogor, wondered why Nigeria, one of the countries with the largest subscriber base of Dstv services, hardly received the kind of “subscriber-friendly offers” that were offered to the citizens of other African countries.

“You have a situation in the telecommunications industry, for example, where you are billed as you go or use your mobile phones.

“You pay for what you use. We should be having pay as you view or watch as well.

“Why should Nigerians continue to pay for Dstv services whether they are at home using the service or not?” Ogor asked.

He cited Kenya as one of the countries that had taken measures to contain the excesses of Dstv and other foreign digital satellite TV service providers.

Seasoned broadcaster and Chairman, House Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, lent her voice to the debate, supporting a call for more subscriber-friendly pricing in Nigeria.

Nahh, NTA is lousy, poor visual and audio quality and very low quality programming. They're just finally going digital, they've been refusing to buy content except for Latin tv dramas. A lot of people are developing content but I don't know if they're planning on offering it to NTA.

It is you who is clueless.
Gullible fellows.
Who is FG? who is Bokoharam?

Yeah, I know NTA is basically useless, but I was talking about the federal government creating a sort of HITV 2, but this time with the best of equipments, federal funding and the best brains at the helm. It means creating a whole cable company and not just a station like NTA. All these Star times, Daarsat and the likes are far from the level of DSTV and if that is the best we can do, then DSTV will continue to reign supreme.


With the current business climate in Nigeria, it will be very hard for a private individual to come in and establish a company to rival DSTV, offer comparable contents while at the same time charging a reduced amount for their bouquets.(which is mainly what we all want) The cost of such is simply unimaginable and until DSTV faces a situation where a rival company is offering the same content at half the price, they will never reduce their price.

Until FG stops giving Customs Targets , and then customs reduces their duty on multichoice, i dont see the Price of the bouquet reducing

Wow!! You need to calm the fhuck down young Kimosabe. This is a forum debate not a fight.


Finally, I would leave you with an advice; You should never come into a discussion on business with emotional points.. Emotions and business dont mix. And there was no point for you to get uncivil either. Telling me to 'shut up' was uncalled for. Anyways, all men should cut their coats according to their size, If you cant afford Louboutins, wear Bata.. #Period.

Nobody is stealing from nobody here so the whole point on thieving from the masses as contained in your post is of absolutely no relevance to this discussion. How did you go from Conspiracy theory to Political theivery all in a topic about regulating the price or Cable Television?!

ANYWAYS.... Back to the topic at hand;

Pay as you go is not applicable to Cable TV.. I have never seen any Cable company that does Pay-as-you-go Television. Pay-per-view is not the same thing as Pay-As-You-Go just incase you are confusing both.

You use strong and thats perfect.. It satisfies your needs just fine which is Football so I guess you have no cause to complain as such.
