Please take note of the date of this post: 5th April, 2015. As I shall not be liable for any exhaustion of your data as a result of billed streaming on iROKOtv.com. lol.
Well, I just love it when I hear of any development on naija's tech scene, it gives me joy!!
iROKOtv.com, in case you haven't heard of them, is a pan-African internet TV station, with strong roots in Nigeria. That's just the simplest way to put it. They have a lot of movies in their catalogue: Nollywood, Bollywood, Hollywood, (what else?-wood), telenova (ask your wife what this is), etc. which you can either view online or download to see later. Cool, huh!
On the other hand, you have Spectranet, a 4G, LTE internet service provider. 4G LTE basically means super-fast internet connectivity, I think its one of the fastest commercial internet speed you can get around depending on the implementation (telecoms guys, please correct me).
The issue with on-demand video streaming is that it requires a fast and dependable network to be enjoyable, and I guess this has been an issue hindering market penetration of iROKOtv, but Spectranet has a fast and dependable network, and now they (i.e. iROKOtv and Spectranet) have formed a partnership- you get the gist, huh!
SYNERGY!!!! That's the gist!! This may mean increased revenue for Spectranet, because video streaming consumes a lot of data, so you would have to keep buying more from Spectranet. It may also mean an increased quality of service from iROKOtv; I mean, if you see a movie displaying seamlessly just like your traditional TV from iROKOtv, that's quality service. With quality service comes consumer loyalty and brand reputation- you get the gist, huh!
Well, I use "may" above, because the actual details of the deal was not announced, and we do not know what they have agreed on precisely, but whatever it is, it should be SYNERGISTIC!
