I think the biggest issue that your article misses is the fact that there is an apparent segregation between what Zimbabweans and South Africans have to pay. As Kurai says, compact for SA has supersport 3 and 4 while in Zimbabwe all you get are those old boxing channels on ESPN classic. Its completely unfair and is the reason why thousands of Zimbabweans hold South African subscriptions (that and Muvhango, of course.) In my opinion, this is an entirely sueable matter, because of which I sometimes wish I was a lawyer.
While pay per view may seem like a good idea, I can envisage a few problems in the proposition. Those who have prepaid internet from econet of africom will tell you that its heartbreaking to have one's eyes ever glued on the meter....
