Page 3 of 3 He points out that these services have "assumed high prominence in sport-mad Australia through the clever engineering of the Australian networks in adapting the technology to enable such innovations as: 'stump cam' in cricket coverage; in car cameras in the Bathurst car races; and, on board cameras in the Sydney/Hobart yacht race, etc."According to Matson, a network of ENG stations has been established with permanent omni-directional receiving installations at almost every mountain top TV transmission site. This enables cameras with transmitters to relay images and sound from almost anywhere in the country that is within the terrestrial coverage of the networks. And "the advent of high definition broadcasting means that the perceived ENG spectrum requirements have increased many times in comparison to the analogue equipment being replaced." This is the spectrum mobile operators want this spectrum so they can compete with the TV broadcasters by delivering video content to mobile handsets. Broadcasters are already feeling the heat of competition from entertainment video content being delivered over broadband fixed and mobile networks. They are hardly likely to give up a valuable resource into which they have channelled much investment without a fight.
