Finally, the people are thinking. The idea of the alliance is a very good move considering the market size of ASEAN already presents more then half a billion viewers and their combined income that you cannot even imagine.

With the alliance, the region will have a better bargaining power, we can buy and execute programmes as a group, thus reducing in production, technology, equipments and other costs.

This committement is worth to track. This is still in their early stages, I would love to see how they can make this a success.

But is this all good. Thinking this aloud now, will such a move restrict information? Will the alliance then stop news, keeping the real story to viewers? Is this purely a marketing plot? Whats the hidden agenda?

Anyway, I hope the combined powers will bring more wealth from advertisers and knowledge to the region.
