MTN Nigeria on Wednesday took a major step into broadcasting and media on Wednesday with the launch of its digital television broadcasting service in Jos, Plateau State.
According to the telecommunication giant, the Over-The-Top (OTT) service will bring together telecommunications, broadcasting and media on the same platform.
This new development is sequel to the N34 billion digital broadcast licence issued to the telecom company by the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation in 2015.
