Of course that reasoning also renders Worldspace redundant.

Worldspace rendered itself redundant the day it started charging a
subscription for its services. How many of the population in
undeveloped third world countries are going to pay $$$ to listen to a
handful of foreign radio stations?

Probably enough skilled people living and working in the capital cities
often for foreign companies on foreign salaries. It's the people outside
this category who can not afford it, but since they did not pay before
what have Worldspace lost? You also need to consider how many people in
a third world country could afford to buy a ~100 GBP radio.
