TopTV turns one: TopTV CEO Vino Govender isn't talking about TopTV's first birthday - but he's going to be talking publicly soon enough.

TopTV's elusive and media shy CEO Vino Govender wasn't willing to do any interviews or talk about TopTV's first birthday when the pay TV operator turned one year old this past Sunday - but he will be talking publicly soon enough.

Vino Govender is a speaker at the SatCom Africa 2011 conference that kicks off on 30 May at the Sandton Convention Centre. Vino Govender will be addressing a panel at the conference for satellite TV operators on ''Business models that work for Africa'' during the 2nd day of the conference.

Of course Vino Govender won't be talking there about the more than 280 000 subscribers TopTV has signed up in the past year, the new TopTV PVR, or the new channels TopTV plans to launch around July, according to sources.
