They radio/tv operators certainly would be interested. But as opposed to picking the signal off air with your TV or radio for free, streaming requires bandwidth. And it is not cheap, even if it is local bandwidth. A reasonably clear audio stream (forget video) needs like 32Kbps for each person streaming.
Broadband access devices such as DSLAM's (especially IP-DSLAM's) now come with
integrated MPLS and multicast technologies such IGMP, allowing
customers/providers to save significantly on bandwidth used to broadcast
delay-sensitive material, by eliminating replicated traffic on the network.
Killer Apps will always be there but is Uganda is not ready for some of them (business case = 0)
(Hope I don't get Wire charged).

Who pays for it and why would someone pay anyway when he can pick it freely on his radio.
