The objective of the 2-day event was to focus on the changing trends of TV/Telco Business in Africa and the social and economic issues which directly or indirectly impact on the evolution of the sector with several l discussion panels and a keynote address from the honourable Faith Muthambi, Minister of Communications for South Africa and the honourable MALLAM IS'HAQ MODIBBO KAWU, Director General for Nigerian Broadcasting Commission.
With its leadership position in the STB business throughout Africa, Skyworth was a constant presence at all the networking events including a booth in the main hall. This created a great opportunity to extend Skyworth’s brand even further among participants.
