What about MTN? They announced plans to enter the industry some months back.

I’m not even sure why I’ve not been able to take MTN’s streaming play too seriously. I just generally think the telcos have not always really committed to streaming.

What do you think about building an AVOD? Like a Tubi for Africa or maybe even bringing Tubi to Africa? Obtaining critical mass is possible with Nollywood so selling advertising to brands won't be as hard.

I like this idea; with YouTube and traditional TV channels like African Magic, people should be used to ad-interrupted breaks. Also, it affords people something that is always playing on their TV; they don't have to select a particular movie, they just look at the schedule.
