‘This is an exciting time for mobile convergence in Africa,’ said Philip De La Vega, general manager of Nokia Nigeria, adding, ‘We are especially pleased that Nokia, working together with DMTV and MTN, are able to offer consumers twelve months free access to DStv Mobile when they purchase a compatible DVB-H handset and activate the service.
This showcases the enormous advancements in devices technology, now enabling TV on the go for consumers’.
