Vodacom Group, South Africa’s largest cell phone company, and Naspers, the country’s largest media company, have formed a venture to sell satellite television services, the companies announced.

Consumers will be able to choose between two packages of as many as 16 television channels received through satellite dishes, paying as little as 139 Rand ($19) a month, Vodacom and Naspers said.

The packages will sell under the brand DSTV Select. Naspers already sells the DSTV satellite television service in South Africa and other African countries.
