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.
