Why has DStv MOBILE decided to go with OMA/ BCAST?
There are many reasons for DStv MOBILE selecting to go with the OMA/BCAST solution, but one of the main reasons is that it is widely supported by the larger manufacturers. This gives the end customer a greater choice of cellphones at a wide range of prices, so that the product appeals to a larger market. What is the difference between OMA/BCAST and IPDC (the old way of doing things): Do not need a special SIM. Control of the service is in subscribers hands. More cellphone options.
