The Senate has asked the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to direct all pay-TV providers to introduce a pay-per-view model of subscription as against the monthly prepaid model currently in place.

The upper chamber is also asking all pay-tv service providers in Nigeria to immediately review their bouquet prices downwards in tandem with the prevailing economic realities in the country.

The decision to ask for a review in subscription is sequel to a motion raised by Senator ABBA MORRO.

Senator MORO informed the Senate of the recent subscription price hike announced by leading pay-tv service provider, of an increase in subscriber fees.

He noted that media agencies in Nigeria willfully and perpetually increases its bundles because there is no regulation in the area of fixing rates.
