  • National Indigenous TV Limited (NITV)
    National Indigenous TV Limited (NITV) Submission to the Senate Environment, Communications, and the Arts Committee Broadcasting Legislation Amendment (Digital Television) Bill 2010 1. Introduction This Bill alters the delivery of free to air television services in the regional and remote areas of Australia in fundamental ways. Perhaps the Bill represents the biggest change in regional television since equalisation occurred in the late 1980s. Equalisation was the name given to the policy which attempted to replicate, in regional areas, the range of free to air TV services available in the 5 metropolitan TV markets. In the remote areas the changes enunciated by the Bill create the biggest changes since direct to home (DTH) digital free to air TV satellite broadcasts began on the Aurora platform in 1997 (replacing the previous analog BMAC DTH free to air satellite services). Despite this scale of change, the Bill before the Parliament is largely a construct developed by regional and remote commercial TV free to air broadcasters, DBCDE and the government. It has not derived from an open consultative process. The Bill has not been guided in any way by the promised Discussion Paper and the range of community and other broadcaster views and ideas such an open process would have engendered. As can be expected, given this gestation, the Bill may well cover the appropriate and understandable interests of regional and remote commercial free to air TV broadcasters and to a lesser extent the two National broadcasters, but it leaves virtually all questions relating to other free to air broadcasters and significant consumer issues up in the air.

SNAPE, Presiding Commissioner MR S. SIMSON, Assistant Commissioner TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS AT BRISBANE ON THURSDAY, 20 MAY 1999, AT 9.05 AM Broadcasting 1 br200599.doc PROF SNAPE: Welcome to this, the first day of the public hearings of the inquiry into broadcasting conducted by the Productivity Commission. The terms of the inquiry are specified in the terms of reference sent to the commission by the Commonwealth treasurer. Copies of the terms of reference are available on the table near the entrance. The inquiry encompasses all aspects of broadcasting covered by the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, its subsequent amendments and associated legislation. It covers free to air television and radio, pay television and radio, community and indigenous broadcasting, datacasting, narrowcasting, digital conversion and some aspects of the Internet. Regulation of content - for example Australian content and children's content - ownership and foreign investment are all embraced, but the legislation setting up the ABC and SBS is not. The commission has to give particular attention to the requirements of the competition principles agreement. This specifies that any legislation which restricts competition should be retained only if the benefits to the community as a whole outweigh the costs and if the objectives can be met only through restricting competition. The terms of reference give emphasis to social and cultural considerations, as well as to economic, to the effects of technical convergence, to cultural diversity, plurality of opinion and fair and accurate coverage of matters of national and local significance, to respecting community standards and to protecting children.

  • Targeted Messages on TV Screens in Remote Indigenous Communities
    Sustainability of Indigenous Communities Conference, Murdoch University, July 2006 Targeted Messages on TV Screens in Remote Indigenous Communities Maurice McGinley*, Tony Eyers**, Andrew Turk*, Daniel Franklin**, Daniel Featherstone*** * Department of Information Technology, Murdoch University, Perth, Australia (email: [email protected]; [email protected]) ** University of Wollongong ***Ngaanyatjarra Media Abstract This paper describes a research project to enhance the viability of remote Indigenous communities through culturally-appropriate use of information and communications technologies (ICT). The project investigated the use of community rebroadcast TV infrastructure for new low cost communications services. A key part of the project was establishment of trusting relationships with the Ngaanyatjaara Lands communities of Irrunytju and Kanpa. Community members, administrative staff, and external service providers were involved in investigations into current communication problems and potential solutions. A working prototype of a messaging system using satellite broadcasting infrastructure to send multimedia messages to TV sets within remote communities was developed and evaluated. Such a system could be used by government agencies or remote communities themselves to deliver messages about visitors to the community (e.g. health workers), emergencies (e.g. bushfire); cultural business, sporting events, etc. The expected outcomes of such a system are increased social capital within the region, developed through more efficient and effective communication, leading to enhanced viability and sustainability of remote communities. Keywords digital television, Indigenous remote communities, messaging, viability, sustainability BACKGROUND There are hundreds of remote communities in Australia, mostly Indigenous and ranging in size from a couple of hundred people to very small, sometimes temporary, communities of a few families.

    NITV answers to questions on notice from Senator Hon. Judith Troeth Re Senate Environment, Communications and Arts Committee Inquiry Broadcasting Legislation Amendment (Digital Television) Bill 2010 Response to question taken on notice verbally Q: Senator Troeth (p7) “…in the expectation of being able to continue as you have gone on, you would have explored funding options and also the sort of programming that you were going to deliver. For instance, could you give us your funding commitment for the next two or three years, for the next cycle?” A: With respect to NITV’s future funding, it is the case that Minister Garrett in conjunction with Ministers Conroy and Macklin, announced on 15 April , 2010 that the Government would fund NITV for one year, 2010-11 with the sum of $15.2 million. However, in our Submission lodged in February 2010 to the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA), NITV presented an evidence-based case for funding over five years as follows: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 $m $m $m $m $m TOTAL 25.8 28.4 31.1 32.2 33.2 Our core activity is providing a national service on television and via digital media to a national audience. With Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as our core audience NITV showcases, celebrates, informs and educates the wider community to the diversity and richness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and culture and highlights those issues most affecting First Australians from an independent, Indigenous perspective. Maintenance of strong Indigenous editorial and commercial control underpins our activities.

  • Chapter Seven: a Summary of Issues
    CHAPTER SEVEN: A SUMMARY OF ISSUES 7.1 This chapter seeks to consolidate the views of the Committee on the issues raised during the inquiry under the headings of the various forms of communications – postal services, broadcasting and telecommunications. 7.2 Two major issues emerged during the inquiry: the need for fast and affordable access to the Internet in the External Territories and the problem of the capacity and frequency of flights into the Indian Ocean Territories. These are not simple issues; they affect many of the other services available to people in the territories – health and education, the development of business, tourism and employment – and the overall quality of life that comes from good communications and connections with the wider world. Postal Services 7.3 Traditional mail services remain slow and unreliable to and from all of the territories. The slowness of the service hampers any prompt community response to events, even to this inquiry. While it might be argued that post as a means of transferring information is giving way to electronic transfers, the need for hard copy is still significant. Australia’s geography, size, distances between capital cities and the spatial location of its population indicate the enormity of providing an efficient postal delivery network. There are five major forms of mail delivery, namely: street mail deliveries, roadside delivery, private boxes, community bags and counter delivery.1 7.4 Unlike on the mainland, residents in the External Territories only receive delivery to post office boxes and not to their residences. Australia Post benefits from philatelic sales of Island products but does not recompense the Islands for those sales.

(Viewer Access Satellite Television) The Australian Government is funding a new satellite service to provide digital television to viewers in Australia who are unable to receive terrestrial television services. This new service is called VAST (Viewer Access Satellite Television). I have, as of 21/01/2001, obtained access to the VAST system under the category of a traveller and am now enjoying viewing all the digital channels available in any capital city. The procedure I used to obtain access is as follows: (As is explained further in this document). 1. Make a purchase of the dedicated Decoder. 2. Carefully read the instructions with the Decoder. a. You must already have the dish tuned into Optus C1, as this Decoder will not give any indication of signal levels until after signal detection and channel scanning, so a tuning meter must be used. b. LNB settings must be checked. 3. All cable connections were made to the Decoder, and the set was powered on. a. At this stage the decoder automatically searched and tuned in all allowable channels.
