MTN Nigeria has unveiled its much awaited
converged digital television with Over-The-Top (OTT) service, reports ITRealms.
The station thus brings into convergence,
telecommunications, broadcasting and media on a given technology stage.
Public Relations and Protocol Manager at MTN
Nigeria, Mr. Funso Aina in a press statement made available to the media,
said the new service has initially gone live in Jos, Plateau State, beginning
last Thursday.
ITRealms also gathered that the TV service
follows the recent granting of a digital broadcast licence to MTN Nigeria by
the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) last year.
Aina also quoted the chief executive officer, MTN
Nigeria, Mr. Ferdi Moolman said, the ICT converged company is committed to
providing Nigerians with innovative digital platforms which will enhance the way
people live, work and play.
“Once we commence full commercial activities,
the TV service will deliver an exciting bouquet of rich local and international
content to Nigerians. In addition, subscribers will have the freedom to watch
their favourite programmes when they choose to via MTN VOD (Video-on-demand) service,
rather than having to watch at a specific broadcast time. This will be the
first fully converged broadcast and OTT-VOD service to launch in MTN,” Moolman
said.
