Comment: We’re currently going through every nook and cranny of this new digital satellite industry trying to understand what exactly is going on, there is still quite a fair bit of confusion regarding which players will benefit, which players will use free to air tv, the impact of True’s cable, more clarity will hopefully be provided by the NBTC during this month
