I think Barry's email applies to the US as it does to his situation down
there.
And Doug McDonald suggestion of eliminating the duplication of bit streams
is just plain brilliant! I would ask, why does the government need to get
involved? Can't Dish and DirecTV figure this out for themselves?

In the US it is trivial: thay are transmitting some 2500 channels
in inadequate bandwidth.
If our government were smarter, they would require that the two
satellite services merge their physicl layer and compete only
on advertising, exclusive content, and price. This would double the
bitrate for every channel.
