Rival carriers slam “brazen” Foxtel/Telstra tie-up
A lobby group representing rival carriers has slammed Foxtel’s request it be allowed to offer a new IPTV service to customers on the condition that they have a broadband connection with its part-owner Telstra.
The CCC represents a number of telcos such as Primus, iiNet, AAPT and more — but not Telstra. It is led by director David Forman. Some of these telcos – such as iiNet – are planning to offer IPTV services that will only be available to customers of their own broadband infrastructure.
“There is no technical reason why Foxtel could not make this offer available to the customers of any broadband provider. In fact, it should be in Foxtel’s interests to open the offer to customers of all broadband providers,” said the CCC in a statement issued yesterday.
Because Telstra is half owner of Foxtel, Telstra has an incentive to use this relationship as another means to exploit its market power to reduce consumer choice,” it added.
