Australian TV sucks, its just a fact. it's not because of the content which it most of the time quite good. Its the fact that we have to wait at least 4 weeks to sometimes almost a year before content comes available in Australia. This is a really sad state we are in. I love TV shows and there is just no diversity in Australia. i have actually gone to downloading TV shows because otherwise i may not see them anyway else. now I'm not saying this is the right thing to do, but this is what our society has come to.
I have seen a recurring trend directed and Australia and well any country that is not America that we have to pay more and wait longer before we can get the latest gadgets, media or technologies.
here is a little fun fact for you, did you know that when windows 7 was first released it was $200 more that the U.S version. And even now there is still a massive difference between in the price for a piece of software that is exactly the same.
The issue is that there isn't enough Australian industry to keep prices low. we have companies the have monopoly over entire areas of industry. For example at the moment Telstra has monopoly of internet and land line phones. Woolworth and Cole both have monopoly over the food industry and we have seen numerous times how these companies kill off smaller companies so that they can keep their profit margins high.
Back to TV shows i think a effort should be made to bring global equality. There is no reason why we should have these delays and obsurd price when we have reached the 21 century and a global economy.
