Hi, cable tv in Australia costs over $40/ month for the most basic package. I'm not buying the usual argument about population, because we don't make the shows, and I can't see how importing them costs any money (for the actual transportation). There seems to be not much infrastructure involved except the basic network, which doesn't seem like it should cost more per person in Australia than anywhere else. Basically, the unavoidable fixed costs seem like they ought to be not that tragic, so it is only the per person cost required for licencing the shows, and installing the satellite dish/ optic fibre cable, that needs to be considered, and one would expect that to be similar around the world. What am I missing? Thanks, It's been emotional ( talk) 16:02, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, but I thought it was quite low now in the UK. I heard something like that figure for cable and internet combined, or maybe a few pounds more. What's it like these days in the UK, if anyone can tell me? It's been emotional ( talk) 16:12, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the info so far. Kind of extraordinary, I think, how prices can vary, but at any rate, it's nothing like what I expected. Everything sounds comparable, except the Virgin UK offer, which I checked out quickly, and for the sake of parity, with cable on its own, it's £12.50 a month, or about $20US. This is a remarkable saving over $63/month in Northern California. Any other comparisons welcome, because when I worked in sales for a telco, people from the US, UK, and developing countries kept complaining about our prices, for both cable and internet (though mainly internet). I used to think there was just something hopeless about my beloved Australia, but now I can see it's nothing like that. More info very welcome, It's been emotional ( talk) 04:25, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
The Treasure of Swamp Castle is a real thing, ( http://www.amazon.com/Treasure-Swamp-Castle-1989-VHS/dp/B000P1CD7W ) but there doesn't seem to be any record of it or articles about it that are easily found. There is no Wikipedia article, it doesn't even appear in red text on its ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animated_feature-length_films ) IMDB doesn't know about it, and Youtube doesn't have any videos for it. What is this movie? Who made it? Why does no one acknowledge its existence? Is it a foreign film dubbed into English? Why is there a 1997 film of the same name and description, but also little to no record? Are they the same movie? Is there a DVD? ( http://www.christiancinema.com/catalog/article_info.php?articles_id=1631# )
Thank you for any research you may consider into this topic. I had the VHS for this movie at one time, and I was surprised to find there was no record of it on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.118.173.242 ( talk) 16:52, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
