ANOTHER GIANT STRIDE AS MTN NIGERIA GETS N34BILLION DIGITAL PAY - TV LICENSE FROM NBC



MTN Nigeria, has acquired a N34billion license to provide digital pay television broadcasting services in Nigeria.

The Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Mr. Emeka Mba, confirmed the deal and said that the NBC approved for MTN Nigeria part of the country’s 700MHz broadcasting spectrum solely for the purpose. 

Mba said: “It  is  important  to  state  that  the  NBC  does  not  sell  spectrum  but  licenses  organizations  based on  their  applications  to  broadcast  using  available  broadcast  spectrum,  and  other  forms,  such  as  IPTV. “ He therefore said the  allegation  that  NBC  sold  spectrum  is  misleading, and that NBC’s approvals  were based  on  applications  after assessment  of  the  need  and  impact  on  the  audiences  and  the  market.
