[AusNOG] Here we go - Presto is now live.

[Paul Jones]

If (when) cost to Telstra started to become an issue wouldn’t it be cheaper to just route the streaming service via the US to leave the local Telstra connection for high priority traffic?

Presto is Foxtel.

Foxtel is 50% Telstra.

Why would Presto peer when Telstra can earn revenue and drive retail sales?

Just an interesting note.

Presto is streaming (for me), out of "cht-cdn220-is-8.se.fxmultihdsvod256.ngcdn.telstra.com<http://cht-cdn220-is-8.se.fxmultihdsvod256.ngcdn.telstra.com>"

I'm not directly on Telstra, but my upstream is...

Be interesting to see what others experience, and if they are streaming from Telstra only or going to be on peering somewhere.

Hi all,

So, here we go... the first of the three are now online.

Foxtel & Channel 7's Presto has launched - https://www.presto.com.au/

News Release: http://www.news.com.au/technology/home-entertainment/presto-entertainment-launches-for-1499-a-month/story-fn8tnfhb-1227185706539

TV only - $9.99
Movies only - $9.99
Both - $14.99

I've just signed up to give it a test.  I love one question on the signup "I don't want my information passed to our Foxtel Partners (Telstra and News Ltd)." - Love it - TICK!

One note at the bottom of the news article was interesting: "The joint venture between Foxtel and Channel 7 is still awaiting regulatory approval via the ACCC."  Waiting approval but launched?
