I was about to insult you but I thought I shld teach you. Let me give an example of Ad supported streaming. In an economy that is stable companies pay $10-60 per 1000 views of a 30 second Ad slot. They compete for that slot. Assuming 1 million concurrent viewership a day at 15 minute interval, that's ~$1B TAM at a bare minimum. Now, how there are 2 major variables here - companies and viewership. How many companies does Zimbabwe have and how many of them have the ability to compete and pay a premium for advertisement? No need to guess, just look at the print media and how it is struggling. Viewership - currently access to fast & reliable internet that supports streaming is very low. Data is expensive in Zim relative to what pple earn. I pay $30 for Unlimited Internet on my phone and $65 for a 1Gbps home internet. For the same specs in Zim you wld have to pay through your testicle. Now, what does opening up the country mean? It means the govt focuses on the backbone infrastructure that drives innovation. In US, Biden invested $45B in high speed internet infrastructure. I wld expect a serious govt to do the same, invest in power generation etc. Simplify legislation around broadcasting & business in general. One of the companies I consult for has 70 TV channels streaming differnt things from food, housing, courts, news, movies, sports, reality TV etc Imagine the pple that are employed here engineers, reporters, sales, marketing, data junkies etc Think about the production houses, suppliers.. I can go on and on but that is how ecosystems are built and how employment is created. The purpose of a government is not to create jobs but to create an environment where entreprenuership thrives - cutting the red tape, good legislation, backbone infrastructure etc That is what ZANU PF is not good at. So, to help you streaming is not about the phone. It is about the infrastructure, the lucrativeness of your market and the size of the market. That is why if you do Facebook Ads , Zimbabwe is like ~60c/CPM , South Africa $2.50, Germany $10 and USA $20. We are not a strong market. We can be a big market and it starts by opening the country up. VOTE FOR ME😊
