A DSO call that may change the broadcast terrain – By Okoh Aihe

A hunter’s tale and a troubled telecoms sector – By Okoh Aihe
A couple of months ago, I had an interesting conversation with a friend who, after reading one of my articles, had quickly called to ask if I was, by any means, suggesting an increase in telecoms tariffs.
