Thank you for your answer.
But what is the obtain rights to programming?
some of the material which is we are going to use already broadcast in Australia on OptusD2 satellite.
Could you please tell me which guide line I have to comply with for the Australian Market.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Thank you.
You need to obtain rights to programming. It is not as simple as downloading them from someplace.
Becasuse you want to run advertising, you may need to run it as a commercial concern.
SMS and ads are likely pretty cheap, compared to the costs to deal with regulators, and obtaining uplink time and resources.
All-in-all, you need to hire a consultant to find out all you need to do to get a signal out of your facility and up on satellite, licenses and such, the basic studio equipment to run your sort of station. hire the right personnel, and obtain rights to "broadcast" the programming you intend to.
