[QUOTE="w hole, post: 1231, member: 175048"] Hello OM I'm not to sure how serious you are regarding the Square chappies, but if there had been some Govmt. intervention or support at the time, KRM would not have been able to secure his private monopoly of the Clarke Belt(UK). I put this down to that Govmt. (Blue), who wanted the support of his gutter paper at that time. Later on the emerging 'new' party sold out to him to get the support of that same gutter. Remember that strange journey that Mr B. made to Aussie to meet with him? No one could quite make out why at the time. If you want to go back even further, who was it who allowed him to break the rules of the day to get control of the Times AND the Sun. This is a very involved argument, and it depends which angle you are looking at it from, but in esseence it is a Power Game, and the customers/viewer is only a pawn. I must say that I have great admiration for the German system, it is free to view all over the continent (fortunatley including GB/UK) carries a wide variety of programming, much of which is actually enlightening, which is far more than can be said of most of the output from E28 (including the BBC at the moment I'm sorry to say)(Perhaps Mr Dyke will offer some hope - perhaps not). I do feel pessimistic overal about the future, and it is my belief that even the Internet will eventually become controlled by the 'few'. Not as it exists at the moment, because I belive that it genuinley caught 'them' by surprise, but the 'broadband' aspect will I fear become 'controlled'. It is probably a case of enjoy what you have while you are lucky enough to have it. I know this is a pessimistic outlook, but with 4:2:2 becoming more widespread, we are loosing many of those great feeds we have be lucky enough to see, and the outlook for 'broadcast' TV is not really much more encouraging. We do need to RAGE and RAGE and RAGE, but will that be enough? Perhaps we need to go off into the mountains and prepare ourselves for combat, but in this electronic age, where are the mountains? I'm afraid you have raised a very red flag in front of this bull, but I doubt that a full head on charge will be the most effective course of action. Now that's two of us who have had a chance to get it off our chest, are we alone? Kind regards and 73s W Hole [/QUOTE]
