<div>Just look into Netflix + <insert large eyeball network name here> in the US. It’s not an Australian thing. It’s been the “war” between eyeball networks and content for a while.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Sure. Doesn't make it right though.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When talking about the Australian market though are there others besides Telstra using similar tactics?</div>

<div>Simply not true that Telstra is the only one doing this. Deutsche Telekom has been known to use the same practice for now decades. Swisscom, same thing.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All of the Gorillas are doing this. Sadly.</div>

<div>It's really interesting IMO, especially considering it's in Telstra's best interest with its 50% stake in Foxtel to keep content players like Netflix away. Only way to do that is by charging them ridiculous transit fees.</div>

"Australia is the most expensive region in which we operate, but for an<br>
interesting reason. We peer with virtually every ISP in the region except<br>
one: Telstra. Telstra, which controls approximately 50% of the market, and<br>
was traditionally the monopoly telecom provider, charges some of the<br>
highest transit pricing in the world — 20x the benchmark ($200/Mbps)."<br>
<br>
Not quite news, but it's still interesting to see the relative numbers.<br>
