We have all heard rumours that the DTTV (Digital Terrestrial Television) operator Multiplus will be taken over by Maltacom. The source of all these rumours probably was the fact that Maltanet's IT&T fair offer consists of a free Multiplus box for new subscribers or a box with a lower price for other customers. We have also heard that Maltacom couldn't start up their own network even though they have a license to do so, because the frequencies they were assigned, are no longer assigned to Malta. We didn't write anything about all this at the moment because we were waiting for something more official from Maltacom or MCA. Up till now, this didn't happen, but today, The Times published an article regarding this matter on iTech (technology section). Basically it says nothing new - except for confirming that there actually is a problem regarding the frequencies assigned to Maltacom. Meanwhile, Maltacom still won't say anything about whether they will be taking over Multiplus, but Jan Spiteri, the chief executive of Multiplus actually insisted that the Maltanet promotion has nothing to do with Maltacom. Well, we'll wait and see.
