Bill, that's your personal view on the subject and shouldn't be stated as fact. Some people in new Zealand feel differently than you do. For example, all working New Zealander's contribute part of their tax to subsidise FTA channels. Is this tax distributed fairly? The governement doesn't think so because they are pulling their blanket taxpayer funding from TVNZ. When 700,000 tax paying New Zealanders subsribe to Sky you could argue that these people are getting a raw deal because their broadcasting tax funds do not go to Sky...not a cent! What the NZ government is actually investigating is a better and fairer way of distributing taxpayer funds to all broadcasters. This may include forcing TVNZ (and other broadcasters) to re-broadcast all their FTA channels on Sky. Please try and consider other points of view the next time you post comments like you did.
