MultiChoice, which owns DStv, dominates the market in part because it has exclusive contracts for premium and international content.
MultiChoice wants the court to compel Icasa to halt the inquiry process, pending the submission of all relevant documents or evidence the regulator relied on to make its draft findings and conclusions.
The pay-TV operator wants interested parties to be given at least 60 days to make representations on the draft findings, after Icasa has provided all relevant documentation. According to MultiChoice, the proposed licence conditions would impose far-reaching restrictions on its business. In addition to their impact on its business model and commercial sustainability, the company said the conditions would negatively affect the nature, quality and variety of its services to consumers.The continent’s biggest pay-TV operator listed on the JSE in February and is now valued at about R55bn, servicing nearly 14-million people across 50 countries in Africa.
