New PayTV operator, Telecom Satellite Television, TSTV, weekend,
disclosed that it would commence commercial roll-out of its decoders to
Nigeria by November 1, 2017.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer
of the company, Mr. Bright Echefu, said the company would from Monday,
deploy about 5,000 decoders to customers for free, and would also be
installed for the customers to enable them test the reception, services
and claims of the company.
He explained that the delay in the commercial deployment of decoders to
customers was to prevent sabotage by unscrupulous elements who would
want to frustrate the company.
He said, “We have not commenced commercial sales of our decoders because
we are aware of the fact that we are running a business easily
frustrated by competition.
“We had applications from over 3,000 individuals who want to be our
dealers, so far we have cleared about 750 of the dealers. We are
currently conducting due diligence checks on our dealers. We do not want
a situation where individuals posing as dealers buy up our decoders and
go dump them somewhere.”
He said within the next two weeks, the verification and full
accreditation of dealers would be completed and the decoders would be
rolled out.
