This information was revealed by the CEO of the company in the country, Glauco Ferreira, in an interview with NOVO JORNAL, reiterating that “the way we reach the consumer varies from the reality of the market", where it means that "there are several ways to reach the consumer, there is the DTH system, being via satellite, there is also the DTT system, being the terrestrial digital and there is still streaming, through the internet".

"In Angola, we operate via satellite and by the way we are able to do so through the streaming service, for customers with a satellite account. For our part, we provide internet service in countries when internet penetration is big enough“, he informed.
