You’ve gotta love the ABC. Even though they’re so far ahead of the other FTA networks in terms of offering content online, they aren’t sitting on their laurels. Instead, they’re pushing for all their content to be unmetered on the National Broadband Network, according to Andrew Colley at the Australian.
The best part about this is that the ABC has actually submitted this suggestion to the federal government in the hopes that they’ll actually make unmetered ABC content law. That would mean that ISPs like Telstra and Optus would have to offer iView unmetered, something that would probably never happen otherwise.
I for one hope the government jumps on board…
