CONCLUSION - LEARNING CURB
• Content is key on the “Walesi” in Fiji:• There are only 3 TV Broadcasters;• Same content from the 3 TV Broadcasters airing at the same time
is likely (for example HSBC 7s Rugby).
• STB is required by customers to view the signal, where as for analogue only antenna is required.
