The Observer reported that Econet Global Media applied for a Ugandan television license from the Uganda Communication Commission to operate through the Kwese TV brand. The Observer further pointed that, Ugandans have been looking for cheaper options, especially in accessing sports channels. Kwese could challenge the near monopoly that MultiChoice, the operator of DStv, has enjoyed in this space for the last 20 years.
