Do telstra even broadcast live on the net at the moment? Or is this another case of we don't want to show it but we don't want anyone else to either.

They paid 175 million or close to for it.

If Telstra didn't want competition they shouldn't have been privatised. Suck it up. You paid $175 million for it. Make the most of it.

What happens when the delay becomes 10secs or less? its basically live?

Its basically live on TV?

All this is is another thing between the "live" coverage and the consumer watching the product. It's allowing you (not the public) to watch it at your leisure on whatever device you choose.

*EDIT* - Why are you against it Woody?

You have made some good points jeri, points I didn't consider. I just don't like the idea of it. It's property owned by the afl and seven there are costs involved to produce it and it is basically flying in the face of that.

Do you think Telstra would have done the same package had they not had competition from Optus?

I was waiting for the negative comments. Yes it is pre season, yes the standerd is lower but can't you just watch footy?

Mr G · « **Reply #14798 on:** February 14, 2012, 10:54:36 PM »

Not sure what the deal is, are any of these games getting shown on FTA?

The_Woodridge_fridge · « **Reply #14799 on:** February 14, 2012, 11:09:39 PM »

Nah not until the final I think. I'm going to head to the pub for it
