Fool me twice...

Shame on you, SABC.

Don't we already pay for the content you produce? [hint: tvlice...]

But now we'll have to pay to watch it again on a Pay TV channel, where we're already paying a premium. And are we expected to believe SABC won't use the extra viewership figures to punt their timeslots to the advertisers? Or will the Pay TV outfits be free to replace the adverts?

This is an established player using market dominance and manipulating slight legal obligations into a stick with which to beat new entrants.
