That is exactly my point.  We shouldn't disregard the fact that content
costs. In the recent past we have seen local TV Stations come up with
winning local programs. And local artists being awarded accordingly. We
mustn't think that this comes out of thin air. Let Startimes and others
enter into a commercial discussion with the media houses. I am sure they
will come to an agreement.
