MultiChoice has launched DStv Internet with MTN

 MultiChoice has launched DStv Internet with MTN as its network partner to provide Internet access to those who do not have access to fibre services.

The company said that the move is to diversify its offering as part of MultiChoice’s ongoing evolution from a traditional video entertainment business.

DStv Internet is a fixed wireless access service, and the company said it will use a SIM card and Wi-Fi router.

This means dstv has now become an ISP and a satellite TV marketer/provider, it does Makes sense, based on its market penetration level, so it won’t look like a new firm trying to sell internet services to the public. Instead it’s simply telling you, if you are a Multichoice DStv subscriber, why not adopt its internet services? You get access to both entertainment and internet services from the same source.

However affordability is a big issue, because there are already other options which means, price and offers will determine the extent of the service to the general public.
