“As a business we support and welcome competition,” says MultiChoice CEO Nolo Letele, in reaction to the 17 other pay-TV licence applications.

Why is it they always say that?

A source at MultiChoice indicates ICASA could take many months to consider the applications, with the results expected by about June next year.

Very true.

Why is it they always say that?

because they know that IF any, competition will take like 3 years to even be announced nevermind start operating.

So it's imminent before the 2022 world cup?

ROFL

So where does this R100k application fee go? It is funny how multichoice knows thats happening in Icasa, when they've got the most to loose.
