Its all very well counting TV dishes and making a judgement on the impact of a repoint, but that one-eyed view is totally flawed. Despite what TV people think - TV does not rule the world. There are other users of B3 that would be really pissed off if their service was interrupted. Certain law enforcement agencies in Australia would be really impressed if all their VSATs (many hundreds of them) went down, so that individuals in NZ could watch their country getting thrashed by the Lions. There are also a number of other governmant and private networks that rely on data services via B3. They rely on B3 as their prime means of comminications.<br />Not an easy decision is it.
