A true free market is allowing all the incumbents to offer the same content and compete on how they repackage the content to consumers... There is no innovation here because the incumbents are so well protected and if you look behind the scene, you will probably know why by asking who is the ultimate shareholder and stands to gain most from this "competition"!

That means garmen can collect more money and therefore ministers and senior civil servants bonuses at the end of the year will be higher lah. Right or not?
