Mr. Celestine Achi, founder/CEO of KairosWebTV, an online TV platform says its entry into the Nigeria broadcasting space is to challenge payTV providers in the market.

The webTV platform will also stream Rio2016 Live, the company CEO says while outlining plans for the new entrant service.

According to him, the online platform  was configured to save data for the viewers and also let payTV viewers put behind them what he cites as “the era of ripping off” which his service hopes to challenge through disruptive technologies.

“We want to restore confidence in the minds of digital natives, while providing enabling ground for the digital migrants to approach the power of the internet. Whether you are on 2G, 3G or 4G LTE, the experience will be such that videos should show seamlessly”, Achi says at the official media lunch of the online TV platform in Lagos.
