Ghana Threatens MultiChoice Shutdown Over DStv Price Dispute

Ghana has threatened to shut down MultiChoice over a DStv subscription price dispute. Following a fee increase, the Ghanaian government ordered MultiChoice to reduce prices by August 30 or face license revocation and fines.

Communication Minister Sam George announced the directive, stating that MultiChoice had agreed to the price cut. However, MultiChoice later contradicted this claim, expressing a willingness to engage in discussions but denying any commitment to fee reductions.

The situation has escalated into a standoff between the government and MultiChoice, with potential regulatory actions looming over the broadcasting giant in Ghana.
