TERRESTRIAL TELEVISION LICENSEES STEMS FROM THE DIFFERENT POLICY CONSIDERATIONS RELEVANT TO THESE TWO FORMS OF TELEVISION. SATELLITE BROADCASTERS (E.G. STAR TV) ARE REGIONAL BROADCASTERS BASED IN HONG KONG, WHOSE SERVICES MAY ALSO BE RECEIVED IN THE WHOLE PAN-ASIAN REGION. LOCAL TERRESTRIAL BROADCASTERS (E.G. TVB) ARE LICENSED TO PROVIDE A SERVICE SOLELY FOR A HONG KONG AUDIENCE. OUR REGULATORY REGIME REFLECTS THESE DIFFERENCES BY ALLOWING FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR SATELLITE BROADCASTERS.

LASTLY, THE INSINUATION THAT AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR AND RUPERT MURDOCH WILL FORCE THROUGH THE TVB SHARE TRANSFER IS WITHOUT BASE AS HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED. THE INSINUATION SHOULD BE OBJECTED TO.
