Vlad and YU4CFG you are both forgetting 1 thing… 6 months ago we were all in the same boat. $65 per month for PINK, BK, RTS & BN. You are going to be paying the same and getting more with TV+ why are you going to be screwed by TV+ think that competition will help the small local market? TV+ want to get as many customers as possible and to insure that all Balkans customers are satisfied you will see lots of creative things to get customers in and discount bundling of telephone and internet services as well. There will be competitions, freebies, sign you mates up etc and so on.<br /><br />Further TV+ is committed to the Balkans and former eastern block countries and has already locked down content from Serbia, Bosnia and in final stage discussions with many providers around the world to deliver a fully fledged cost effective service.<br /><br />Further as soon as 8 – 10,000 customers are on board all the former English Channels (bar E$PN) will be rolled in as well.<br /><br />Further TV+ is well cashed up as well getting very solid support from Panamsat and Globecast. TV+ is in a better position than UBI – majority of the dishes are pointing to PAS8. TV+ has no stigma attached to it like UBI (TARBS 2) The content providers are very pissed of what TARBS did and what has happened in Australia. They are all aware and have heard from the many thousands of customers that lost money because of the TARBS demise they have gone to extreme lengths to insure that the same doesn’t happen again. These companies have chosen TV+ because they don’t want it to happen again and have faith in TV+. Ok you are forgetting one thing if UBI is more cashed up than other companies think where the $240 million deficit of TARBS is.. Think where that small % of UBI cash came from – YOU. YES YOU the former TARBS customer supplied seed – startup capital funding to UBI doesn’t that piss you off.. I can think of many thousands of customers that lost $$$ that would like to visit MB’s nice house in DURAL and collect.. <br />Ok now the threats to the content providers… Ok Australia is a small market, there are twice as many Serbs in USA and the same in Canada there is 6 times as many Serbs in Germany as Australia and many hundreds of thousands of Serbs spread across Europe.<br /><br />Resellers / distributors need some form of market protection in such a small market especially since the cost of infrastructure and related support services in Australia costs nearly twice as much as the US when you work out the millions needed to setup a teleport facility and all the N+1 hardware required to keep the highest uptime just to support a small niche market then you would think different..<br /><br />Further TARBS was the originator of the Exclusive contracts.. in fact the former TARBS contract with RTS signed by Crjvenjakov gave TARBS global exclusivity to broadcast / sell and collect revenue globally. And this is the model done by all the companies globally for Ethnic TV. Why don’t you think that there wasn’t other competitors to TARBS previously?? Because all the content was exclusive (except for RAI and Antenna who are Globally Exclusive to WMI and WMI sell these to as many companies as possible to collect as much $$$ as possible).<br /><br />You wont be suffering, you wont be the looser with TV+ in fact you will be the winner because TV+ wants to get all the former Balkan customers back and many thousands more. TV+ wants to get Serbs, Maceo’s, Bosnians (and Bosnian Muslims) Croats and more. There wont be price hikes especially since lots of the customers are pensioners TV+ understands that these customers need a commercially sensitive rate<br /><br />You wont suffer in any way with TV+ you will only benefit in the long term.<br /><br />I look forward to your comments..
