Imparja Television

I suggested a few months ago in the VAST thread that VAST should use a new satellite with more precise spot beams to transmit local affiliates Australia wide.

Viewer Access Satellite Television (VAST)

My ideal solution to VAST (which would require more than $10m I think!) Launch a new Optus satellite with more transponder beams that only cover individual states and individual existing license areas. That way for example they could have the full suite of regional channels in every state covered in local transponder beams. No more need for the Remote Eastern Australia license area for example. This may seem over the top and expensive and I’m not technically literate with satellite technology…
