To KICTB for next year's grants : Digital TV local content
To concide with the DTT changeover in 2012, I hope next year the some of the grants can go to some local content production companies who can create a one-stop studio and infrastructure sets to enable artists and content developers a plaform for content creativity. Will we see a start of "Warner Studios" at some point? These studios will have a feed to e.g Signet where the production company may own its own channel, or sell the content onto main broadcasters. Also for public interest, have the channel rates on e.g. Signet been decided between content and teletext services? Hope this information can be published so as to help many out there who maybe planning various involvements in the sector. Thank you.

Thank you.
While I concur with you on this, I hope if and when, say FDI, is injected, you wouldn't be at unease.

@Solomon, thanks. As far as my understanding and reading various articles of the grants goes, these are for local companies with track records of delivering which will lead to growth at some point towards localization. I can understand 100% ownership FDI on core infrastructure is not a good idea, not sure how FDI affects the content generation sector? Rgds.
