Multichoice has been ordered by the Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal to give Nigerians one month of free DSTV and GOTV subscription 


The tribunal also fined Multichoice 150 million Naira for challenging the jurisdiction of the court, which recently restrained it from increasing the prices of its DStv and GOtv packages.


It could be recalled that Multichoice increased their subscription rates on DSTV and GOTV in the face of daunting economy challenges in Nigeria a step that didn't go down well among the subscribers which prompted regulating body NCCPC to challenge them in court.
