Every business adjusts prices to survive in Nigeria. Why should Multichoice be the exception?

Though the suit was struck out, the court held that FCCPC cannot single out MultiChoice unless it can show a legal basis or prove Multichoice dominates the entire pay-TV market, which it failed to do.

In markets where pay-per-view is standard, audiences are accustomed to paying for each event. But in Nigeria, we have grown used to a single, flat fee. Don’t replace that with a new pricing model that charges more while offering less.

Ever thought about the real cost of PPV? Imagine having to pay extra for every Champions League game, every EPL match, every UFC fight. Makes DStv subscription look like a pretty good deal, right?
