Senator LUNDY (11:19 AM)
—Thank you, Minister, I think that clarifies my question: it does go to those outside the embrace of this legislation in that I am talking about content providers who are not currently broadcasters. From what I understand from what you have just said, if you are not currently embraced as a broadcaster by this legislation and the allocation of a seven megahertz cluster of spectrum, then in fact there is a commercial means by which those providers of content could currently access the digital spectrum for the purposes of datacasting. I am seeking a final clarification on that point.
Senator Alston
—I am sorry; I did not quite appreciate the nub of the question. I did hear some of the surrounding material. Could you rephrase the question?
Senator LUNDY
—Minister, what I am seeking a final clarification on is whether those providers of a datacasting service at the moment, who are currently outside the legislation in that they are not broadcasters and are not the recipients of any spectrum, currently have through commercial or other means access to purchase or lease, or get a hold of, a certain amount of digital spectrum through which to deliver their datacasting service.
