Television: Time for Pay-per-View?

Television: Time for Pay-per-View?

Just before the House of Representatives wenton the break enforced by the fury of the novel Corona Virus Disease AKACOVID-19, I was looking in the direction of the National Assembly’s lowerchamber to see what it would make of its desire to get pay television operatorsin the country to adopt a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) billing system. I bet there werethousands of Nigerians waiting-expecting, actually-to see the House compel theabolition of the monthly contract billing model for the a la carte-likePAYSG.  Following the adoption of amotion by Hon. Unyime Idem from Akwa Ibom State, the House resolved tointerface with MultiChoice, the biggest of the pay television serviceoperators, and its competitors to bring about the envisaged PAYG model, asubscriber’s wet dream for as long as I can remember.
