Telecom Lit TV box: Review and price

Not only did Telkom take the fight to their competitors’ doors by launching the Telkom LIT TV box, but the company also doubled down on other strategies, such as cheaper data bundles. LIT TVC 100 Android-powered media box has had a good reception with many positive reviews online.
