SAFARICOM SHIPS IN DECODERS TO TAKE ON ZUKU'S TRIPLE PLAY

Safaricom TV decoders are finally in the country with triple play capability.

The boxes which will retail for Sh3,499 run on Android software will be equipped for high-speed internet, high-definition TV, Video on Demand and Gaming.

After rolling out its fiber cable extensively across major towns in Kenya, Safaricom looks set to take on Zuku's similar offering of triple play services: TV, Internet, telephony.

Given that it intends to have its LTE/4G service in 15 towns by end of June, the listed Telco likely expects to roll out this service in these towns.

The business model has not been revealed but management has in the past spoken of on demand services where viewers stream and pay for what they want to watch.

Equally, it is not clear if viewers will pay for the programs or for the internet they use to download their movies.
