Telstra customers have been able to watch a mobile version of Foxtel on pretty much every NextG handset except the iPhone for a few years now. But as Gus at Lifehacker points out, that’s all changed now, with the Big T bringing the service to their iPhone customers.
Apparently the iPhone version will include enhanced video streaming to take advantage of the bigger screen. It’ll set you back $4 for a day pack or $18 for a monthly subscription — which is particularly expensive considering Foxtel’s new download service is free for subscribers. But at least it’s no longer a disadvantage to own an iPhone on NextG…

wow, so an existing subscriber can download for free at home, but have to pay another subscription to download it on their phone? lol. on the other hand, it probably works out cheaper than using all your mobile downloads downloading stuff, due to the ridiculous price of mobile data…
telcos ftw…
