LOL, it's hardly 10 DSTV channels when almost half of the 10 channels are SABC1, 2 and 3 and e-TV....

Honestly, who'd actually watch this???

For example, viewers will be able to look up a player’s statistics while watching a game or even control the camera angles.

god, the amount of times i've read this little selling point. and yet, they keep dishing it out and someone must be eating it up...

LOL maybe ICASA will force Naspers to let other content providers carry MNet & Supersport channels like SKY & VIRGIN MEDIA do in the UK. But unfortunetly even they had a falling out ... Who knows maybe Naspers will in the near future realise that theres more money to be made that way.
But it's true MNET has the right to almost all the good content from the U.S & UK. Lets hope the other operators dont give us crappy cable tv shows ...

also the issue of the SABC, which is demanding that the new pay-TV platforms pay to carry its channels

hey?! i guess no one is going to carry it then.

"Telkom Media’s biggest strength is the cutting-edge technology it will be using to deliver content. "

Hahahahaha.....they can't even deliver a stable 4MB service at an affordable price.....I can just imagine people phoning Telkom with reception problems...oh the horror...

"Telkom Media chief strategy and operations officer Rikus Matthyser says he’s optimistic. “There’s no such thing as a saturated market with just one player,” says Matthyser. “One constant market requirement is choice for the consumer.” "

Oh my word.... the Irony of such a statement from the Telkom Devil Itself!

I wish MultiChoice will make an mnet only option available. Will not be able to afford DSTv premium when moving, and DStv Compact does not really appeal to me.

And I wish MultiChoice would make a premium Mnet free option. Mnet sucks IMO.

i just wish multi choice would allow me a choice ... there's probably only 4 / 5 channels i'd choose.

You, me, and everyone else - thats probably why they're afraid of offering people a choice.

Me too, they're lucky SABC's so bad, its the main reason why people have DSTV. Competition will hopefully improve things, I'm not convinced by talk of Telkom's cutting edge technology though.
