Unmetered VOD content is the way of the future, and according to Andrew Colley at the Australian, the best VOD service in Australia at the moment is in discussions with Telstra to get iView unmetered on Telstra’s upcoming T-Box PVR.
There’s nothing to be announced yet, but ABC multi-platform chief Arul Baskaran confirmed that they were in discussions with Telstra, as well as Fetch TV for offering unmetered iView.
The ABC’s policy has always been to get their content on as many platforms as possible, and winning over Telstra would be a huge boon to iView. Especially if they manage to persuade Telstra to offer it to all their BigPond customers, not just T-Box users.
