Whilst it is a great idea, TV advertising is Big Bucks and requires
careful planning. Without a specific campaign strategy based on relevant
market research it would be a waste of money.

On the other hand - creating a 15-30 second spot, and attempting to get
it aired as a community announcement, is probably a more realistic goal
for an organisation like Linux Australia. 

An event based promotion such as Software Freedom Day could be a good
candidate IMO.  Think of "Clean Up Australia Day".
