It will be better if they just die. Amazon will be able to bring us affordable sports streaming.

Their average revenue per customer was quoted in an earlier article at around R290 if memory serves. They could simplify their bouquets and make bank.

Perhaps they could provide packages based on what people want instead of ethnicity!

We are definitely getting rid of DStv in January.

Loses 400 000 peeps from DStv in just 6 months, focuses on planned successes of Showmax

He has to be upbeat.
How else would he be able to justify his huge salary package.

I've been saying this for years.

They got caught sleeping by the streaming services and now sports are the only card they have to really play, so they may as well become South Africa's ESPN.

Could even do what ESPN and Disney do, partner up with other streaming services as an add-on.

Consider the recent article where it was noted how little they pay for sports rights compared to their total content. Yet they bleed subscribers by overcharging for sports.

Upbeat, we'll see.
