Yes I live in Australia and over here, the corporate and government cultural trend is to update through technological attrition, and gradually switch over to new technology.
The Australian analog TV transmitters will start a gradual decommissioning starting this year and progressing through until next year. I presume the timing for the switchover was announced officially by the government after receiving corporate recommendations from the commercial TV networks, as to when their analog TV equipment would require major overhauls.
The comment about running 23.967p footage on a PC/Mac to convert to 24p, mainly applies to footage shot on digital cameras.
