FetchTV: An updated review for 2012
review When the FetchTV Internet television (IPTV) platform first launched in Australia in mid-2010, it did so with a great deal of optimism and enthusiasm, but also with a great many flaws.
The service represented something which had been the holy grail of Australia’s broadband industry for many years: A way to move away from simply providing telecommunications transit services and towards completing the so-called ‘triple play’ bundle of broadband, telephony and entertainment that would, it is still believed, ensure the ongoing profitability of broadband providers faced with a market where high profit margins are increasingly hard to find.
For consumers, the platform also represented a tantalising opportunity. For years, the global entertainment industry has locked Australia out of its stark desire to be able to access whatever film and TV content it wanted, when it wanted, in the comfort of its own home. It has been clear for many years that the corner video store has been dying, but what is less clear is what is going to replace it. For many Australians, that replacement has consisted of illegal downloads via platform like BitTorrent.
