The african channel that does not work in most of africa :-) No, I know it's hard to secure rights everywhere, but no streaming service works in my parts of africa.
- lbostral 11y agoHey, I am Ludovic, Cofounder and CTO of Afrostream, You are right, there are some technical challenges here. I don't know where you live exactly. We will not launch in all the continents now, there is no sense here. We are working with some Internet and mobile providers to facilitate access to Afrostream. Mobile is the key word here : people have access to cheap android smartphones, and there will be a lot of deployment of 3G and 4G Networks in the months to come. Where do you live in Africa exactly ?
- fijal 11y agoSouth Africa. I know the whatever organization is licensing content here is hostile enough that most people just don't bother.
- eonw 11y agois this related to insufficient infrastructure or the services are just blocking you by IP/region?
- lbostral 11y agoIn part we have acquired rights for a group of countries in Africa, so there will be a blocking by IP. Other part is yes, some regions are under-equipped, and we will be there with some Internet providers which are deploying their networks to have some interesting contents at the start.
- eonw 11y agosounds like a very cool project.
