DSTV is not a government agency it is a private owned business federal government has no right to dictate the price of their services!

Will government also subside their operational cost??

Foolish decision.
Is DSTV a federal parastatal?

Bros I see many people bashing you here and I don't blame them. You gave them no option with this your comment. How can you say government can't regulate a company because it's private? Do you know how many government licences and approvals DStv had to obtain to operate in Nigeria? So what will you say about mtn, glo and co that are also privately owned but being heavily regulated by NCC?
Secondly, your comment also shows gross insensitivity. The national assembly has for once passed a bill that will help alleviate sufferings of the masses and you're here criticising it with ill informed analysis?

Shut up
He is saying the truth, exchange rate, diesel, and what have, increases exponentially the cost of running their business. I think the lawmakers should first of all, set a riot act on the economy, Electricity before dictating to people how to run their business.

What do you say about DSTV prices in SA? In my opinion, I think prices of goods and services are suppose to be reflective of the current economic situations.
The prices of goods and services should reflect the production cost and owners profits.
We are not communist!

Nothing special. They will increase the tariff per seconds billing

Government policies and fierce competition from Glo changed that.
Lies.
If government had tried to set prices or tarrif, we would still be using NITEL till now.

Waste of time. This present government and legislature has never done just one commendable thing for Nigerians.

These are grandstandings and motions without movements.

They only came to steal, kill and destroy.

A government that has plunged a fragile economy into recession twice should be hiding it's face in shame.

A government that has destroyed all facets of life in the country should just apologize and resign.

The hypocrites hailing this decision will resist any attempt to set prices for their own business.

Will they comply?

DSTV, MTN, Dangote & co holds FG by the balls so nothing dey happen jare.
Why would the comply with a senseless directive? How can NASS 'approve' tarrif reduction for a private company? Does that make any sense? Does NASS 'approve' how much money you give to your wife? or how many times you eat a day? or the price of garri and yam in the market?

It is the billing method that was changed.

Education is very important.

#Story. This directive will last only one to four months. People will lose money therefore things will revert back.

First of all the real masses do not watch DSTV. Anyone who pays even N5000 bouquet of DSTV a month cannot be called masses.

If NASS cannot regulate price of foodstuffs in the market that are killing Nigerians and putting them into poverty, or regulate the insecurity in the land, then why regulate DSTV of all things.

Good development, them just they chop our money since,

You go pay for subscription one month, possibility say na one week you go watch cos there is no light to enjoy your money and all they could do is go away with the rest.

Pay as you go is good like prepaid meter.
