USO reform - the Budget dog that didn’t bark
Abstract: This week’s Federal budget suggests stability for the USO program to the end of the decade. This is despite the impact of LEO satellite services in regional areas, which the Government plans to incorporate into the existing USO policy framework. In our view, this is a lost opportunity for…

Trade Wars, Market Turmoil: Australia’s Digital Imperative - and Opportunity
The OECD has downgraded global GDP growth due to escalating trade tensions, primarily driven by U.S. tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico.

The tariff debate ignores Australia’s digital dependence
Australia’s tariff debate is missing the real issue. Our dependence on US technology and digital services is the real economic vulnerability, not steel and aluminium. While we fixate on minor tariffs, Australia imports A$88.2 billion from the US while exporting only A$37.5 billion, with IP charges…

Seven and Nine results: Audience gains show power and peril of sport
SevenWest Media and Nine Entertainment released half year results this week. Focussing on their FTA TV performance, we saw a return to growth in audiences, with BVOD growth more than offsetting declines on traditional broadcast. Sport had a lot to do with these gains.
