[QUOTE="w hole, post: 11190, member: 175048"] Hello All Here are my thoughts on this matter. Now that 'most' legitimate satellite reception of Films and Sport is only available to subcribers [or card holders] of various providers: why don't the Films Companies and Sports Organizations charge the Broadcasters a rate per potential viewer rather than per country? This would then create true competition amongst providers, with viewers in one particular country choosing which of the packages or parts of the package they wanted to receive. The Programme Originators need not loose out, as they could choose to charge a pro-rata rate which created the same income as they currently receive. The viewers would not loose out as they would have much more choice, and perhaps via competition better value. The loosers would I suppose be Good Old Rupe and his mates, which is where it all falls down - because he has all the polititions by the short and curlies. Its a good idea though don't you think.
