OK, the JAAA seh dem did Trials with their mobile plug and play TV/Satellite sytem.

Let us be VEEEERRRRYYY generous and say all their costs amounted to USD $20m.

160m subscribers would have to pay at least $6 per subscription (daily rate), though some of that would have been package subscribers for $15 for the 4 days. Each household counted would then have paid between $6 and $15 per event, ie if the same household only watched and paid for 2 days, they would be counted twice and paid $12 in total.

Tekking out the trusty calculator, and assuming the lowest amount of revenue collected, we get USD $960M, so lets round that up to US $1B.

Take away total costs of $20m as agreed before and we have a "profit" of $980m before tax. Now, dis is not Jamaican funny money, dis is greenbacks! This leaves a cool USD $558m after taxes (33% corp rate and 16.5% GCT).

If this is so, why dem have di begging bowl stretched out????

A lot of money regardless of calculation and arrangement...but how is it you have them making so much?

I would bet that out of that say USD6 or thereabout the end user pays...JAAA would not receive more than somewhere around 1 USD?

...the providers of delivery of service(s) aways find a way to 'nickle and dine' you to death. It is usually over time that such as the JAAA would be able to demand more and more.

They claim they use their own mobile equipment!!!!

Your own link proves that the figure is nonsense.

You ned broadband to stream it and ongly 250m have dat.

There are die hard American track fans over at sites like Sprintzone who did not subscribe

Let me be clear...there is almost NOT event in Jamaica that I can think of that would command 160m viewers. Hell even when American Idle was at its peak with Clay vs Rueben, dem nuh get dat deh viewership.

Is a typo, they mean 160 THOUSAND.

guhwhey.. DudusGate did command more dan dat 160m

wi juss neva try monetize di ting
