    market and flexibility problems are the greatestchallenges facing every Islamic television Channel.The

    interesting question is no longer, Will users pay to see Islamic programmes on adigital television

    channel? It is Can we deliver this service at a low enough cost tomake it feasible,

    pr ac tica l and sust ainable? In this sense, the only ki ller app in content services is an

    infrastructure that can support the cost-effective delivery of awide variety of contents

    and programmes.
