The other subject, it's to long to read.

But I would like add something about the international rights to transmit program.

With analogcal system it's impossible to know exactly how many people can watch a programme. With a satellite encrypted program I know exactly how many people can watch a program everywhere in the world, because I knows how many digibox and cards existing.

So the business to buy and sale program it's easier with the satellite technology.

The problem, actually, it's only that the contracts to buy programs are based, now, on geographical criteria.

In the future for example if Channel 4 will buy the rigths to transmit Xfiles it will be on the number of potential viewer. ad example 12.670.345 potential viewer everywhere in the world.

The contract will be based on the rights knows number of potential viewer of Channel 4 everywhere in the world, because Channel 4 will knows it.

As SKY actually knows how many people watch them encrypted program.

Regards
Francesco
