After the inexplicable situation of Foxtel and Telstra seemingly in competition with each other to provide content services over broadband, it seems as though a deal has been struck.
After all, Telsta is a 50% shareholder in Foxtel.
Foxtel announced last week that they are "working with Telstra to provide Foxtel content on Telstra's T-Box....up top 30 channels".
However, there is a sleeper at the end of the announcement, which suggests that Foxtel content would now potentially be available to all broadband providers, not just Bigpond.
This suggests to me that Foxtel is looking at the proliferation of IPTV platforms and seeing the writing on the wall.
So - that could leave Telstra T-Box as just another outlet for Foxtel content.
