As part of the steps to increasing and spreading
their tentacles in the industry, MTN Nigeria has
just launched its first ever fully converged
broadcast and OTT-VOD service. This simply
means that henceforth, Nigerians can watch TV
programs on their different Smartphones several
other electronic devices via Over-the-Top

spectrum licence which is a digital broadcast
licence that will allow them to deliver
broadcasting services, simultaneously with its
core data and voice service delivery business
worldwide.
From Punchng report, the Chief Executive
Officer, MTN Nigeria, subscribers will have the
freedom to watch their favourite programmes
when they choose the MTN Video-on-Demand
service, “rather than having to watch at a
specific broadcast time.”

the TV service will deliver an exciting bouquet of
rich local and international content to Nigerians”.
