Activist Lawyer Issues Ultimatum To Multichoice To Regulate Viewing

An activist lawyer, Maduabuchi Idam has issued a 30-day ultimatum to Multi-Choice communications to regulate DSTV and GOTV to read only during viewing.

Idam threatened to institute a legal action against Multi-Choice and other television networks if they failed to resort to ‘read only during viewing’.

He said it was exploitative that Multi-Choice and other satellite stations would disconnect their subscribers once their subscription ends whether they use it or not.

In a pre-action notice sighted by Newspot, the Abuja-based activist lawyer wondered why Multi-Choice and other satellite stations fail to rollover subscriptions not used.

According to Idam: “Pre-action Notice, I find it oppressive and exploitative for Multi-Choice to disconnect subscribers of DSTV and GOTV at the end of every subscription period, whether or not customers ever used their subscription.
