Netflix moves against Showmaxx introduces cheaper mobile-only subscription in Africa

American Technology and Media service giant, Netflix Inc has concluded plans to introduce cheaper, mobile-only subscription in Nigeria and the rest of Africa in order to strengthen its presence in the country and the region as a whole in a move which appears targetted at Showmaxx’s dominance in the continent.  In a continent held back by poverty, piracy and limited access to broadband, it is expected to greatly increase the competition for the African market with Showmaxx, the Multichoice subsidiary, which seems to be clearly ahead and has the majority of the market share because of its more local and African content. It could also help increase its presence in the continent where it is struggling and is still a relatively small player. According to Digital TV Research, the streaming service firm has only 1.4 million subscribers when compared to […]

Car review: More or Less?

The New Porsche 718 Boxster S has two less cylinders and a lot more Horsepower and Torque, but is it a better drive? Tested by Tischen Franklin Porsche 718 Boxster S Although hard to believe it is in fact true, Porsche has fitted the new Boxster with a 4 cylinder engine.
