    It would mean for a start every premise connected via cable would have to have a dish installed.
    Foxtel already use Optus Satelitte outside the cable areas and all of Western Australia.
    If another completely new Pay TV company via Satelitte was to open up, what Satelitte would they use ?
    As for using Broadband Internet to carry it, there goes the majority of Rural Australia out the window.
    Ask why SELECTV who is already in place hasnt rocketed ahead or been more aggressive in seeking customers if there is such a market available to make money ??

    I feel this is a Sabre Rattling Flag waving exercise to see whose awake.
    If Kerry Packer was still alive or Jamie Packer wasnt up to his ears in Casino Gambling I could see the possibilty.
    As for Murdock's News Limited, I thought they had shares in Foxtel anyway.
