The piece notes that China's Star Times has managed to dominate the migration from analogue to digital in much of Africa, driving the process in Malawi, Zambia, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and other countries. The author says the concern is about the tactics that Star Times is employing as it positions itself to control the whole digital migration process in Africa.

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 discusses the implications of this digital migration in Kenya.
