CPC clamours for pay-as-you-go subscription for DSTV consumers

The  Consumer Protection Council (CPC) has advised Multichoice Nigeria Limited, the owners of the DSTV cable television to introduce pay-as-you-go subscription for its subscribers.
In a statement signed by CPC spokesman, Abiodun Obimuyiwa said its time for the introduction of  pay-as-you-go subscription in the interest of millions of subscribers of the satellite television.

According to the Council, the pay-as-you-go subscription would allow consumers get value for their money, give them an option of choice as well as enable them control their consumption.
Besides the suggested introduction of the pay-as-you-go subscription, the Council also canvassed for some form of compensation to subscribers for loss of transmission signals, usually experienced by them during adverse weather conditions, particularly rainy season, known as “rain fade”.
Other issues discussed at the meeting included proper and adequate supervision of DSTV dealers and agents and seeming delay in resolution of consumer complaints by the company.
