Chinese Dominance in Kenyan Digital Migration Raises Alarm

The Inter Press Service published on 14 January 2014 an article titled "Chinese Dominance in Kenyan Digital Migration Raises Alarm" by Miriam Gathigah.  The article notes that Kenyan TV broadcasters will be reduced to only producing content as Chinese-owned Pan-Africa Network Group's (PANG) and SIGNET--a subsidiary of the national broadcaster--will serve as middlemen between local TV stations and consumers of media content.  The article discusses the implications of this digital migration in Kenya.
