The Shift in Entertainment: DStv and Cable TV Facing Extinction in Nigeria

post-image

In a rapidly evolving entertainment landscape, traditional cable television providers like DStv are facing existential threats as consumers embrace new technologies and streaming services. With over 200 million people, the Nigerian market has been a significant stronghold for DStv, but recent trends suggest a looming decline in its dominance.

One of the biggest indicators of this shift is the reluctance of consumers to invest in outdated technologies. The decision to increase the cost of DStv decoders has been met with criticism, as many argue that such devices should be more accessible or even provided for free in order to remain competitive. This sentiment echoes the downfall of once-dominant companies like RIM (Blackberry) and Nokia, who failed to adapt to market forces and technological advancements.

The advent of streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime has fundamentally changed how people consume media. Rather than recharging DStv subscriptions for…

Fintechs should develop products that address the exact needs of their customers (By Mike Cook)

post-image

All around the world businesses are pulling out the stops to achieve growth in what can best be described as challenging economic conditions. Africa is no exception. The continent has long been recognised for its immense potential, and as such businesses across sectors are investing heavily into the continent. Advancements in technology make serving the unbanked and underserved populations in Africa more viable than ever before. However, that does not mean growth comes easily. It is a hyper competitive and complex environment where genuinely understanding your customer is key to growth.

This is typified in the African market where we see multiple shiny apps being dropped across markets…
