Planning for Change in the Television Industry

The issues to be addressed by the planners of the future television industry in Australia are discussed. It is observed that the customer is interested in a regular supply of programs and a substantial organization is required to create a successful television program service. It is suggested that Aussat satellites will be perfectly adequate for general telecommunications traffic such as telex, telephone and data for point-to-point services between commercial and industrial organizations. It is pointed that new TV licences will be granted but they will have only a marginal impact on the existing broadcasting industry.
