It is widely believed that the Government has botched Communications policy by not having an independent entity roll out a single cable to carry pay television. Instead we have two providers, Telstra and Optus, at the cost of $4bn each, laying out duplicate cables which has seen the free-to air channels latching onto the cable providers, an expensive process to say the least.--Information provided by Geoff Pryor
