Then YOUR cost calculation is wrong because it doesn't take into
account
the lost tax revenue.
The lost tax revenue is negligible and isn't included when calculating
project costs.
Either their are cost savings because of not paying tax, or the cost
savings
are negligable.
As I said..

You've been making assumptions all along.I assumed nothing,
You were provided with the appropriate answer to your question. The factI asked for some details and note that none were
provided.

Nice try but the point is ATM, everybody gets electricity and food. ATM,Whether they supply their own electricity or get it from the grid, they
still get electricity.
Whether they are supplied with DSTB's or buy their own, they can still get
DTV!

If you're going to use those words, it might help your credibility if youWhat suggestions? All I've done is corrected some very poor maths,
corrected you on a few gross errors in your assumptions and said that the
proposal
to offer free STBs was only a suggestion.

I think you should go back through the posts and reread a few. Then youI'll bet $5billion that I've alrewady been proven right. I'll expect your
cheque in the mail.
Since the government HAVEN'T already sent out 8 million free DSTB's (a
couple to politicians only so far), I will wait for YOUR $5 million cheque
in the mail!
