FOXTEL is ready to launch new digital r-able and expanded
satellite services in 2004 following acceptance of the regime for
third party access to its and Telsra's digital platforms by the
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (AGOC),
The FOXTEL Digital Access Agreement (DAA), and the allied
agreement from Telstra for access to its cable network, will allow
third parties to independently use FOXTEL's digital platform to
supply digital subscription TV services to FOXTEL's subscribers
through FOXTEL's digital set-top-units (STU's).
The ACCC today announced it had granted FOXTEL and Telstra
exemption orders under new provisions of the Trade Practices AGt
specifically introduced to promote investment in new
telecommunications infrastructure. The orders required FOXTEL and
Telstra to make some variations to which they have agreed.
FOXTEL is addressing the ACCC's expressed concerns on the regime
for third party access to FOXTEL's analogue subscription television
platform and is confident of finalising the analogue agreement
shortly.........

On cable TV they have a weather channel - 24 hours of weather. We had
something like that where I grew up. We called it a window.
