What we need is a Aussie invention to beat the Foxtel system, that would change my world
G'day Norm
I was thinking about this issue ...
Small AUS film companies rely on Foxtel and the like buying their productions.
Free-to-air seems to attract poor quality stuff now.
Thank God that we still have a national broadcaster, strangled as it is ...
I think that's the real issue here.
I believe in free access to knowledge - but I also understand that
someone must pay for disseminating that knowledge.
So, I'm glad Foxtel bought this production - because it tells
usAussies about
our inventions and
our history.
It's a pity that local information is not freely available, as you suggest.
It appears successive governments are pushing user-pay models for
stuff that rightly belongs to
us.
Our public broadcasters can no longer afford this.
