Well they need 1200 paying $35 a month<br />$42000 a month<br /><br />That has to cover bringing the signal from the other side of the planet. Maybe via 76.5E hmmm.. Plus capacity on B3 (bandwidth inside Globecasts mux)<br /><br />As for comparing costs I recall a company called Tarb's offering 2 Filipino channels for over $60 a month at one stage...
