Research and Markets: Australia - Telco Company Profiles - FOXTEL - The Largest Subscription Television Provider

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ea27fe/australia_telco) has announced the addition of the "Australia - Telco Company Profiles - FOXTEL" report to their offering.

FOXTEL is the largest subscription television provider in Australia providing more than 200 channels. Telstra holds a 50% ownership stake in the company, while the James Packer-controlled Consolidated Media Holdings and News Corporation Ltd both have a 25% holding. FOXTEL sub-licenses programs to other pay TV companies for cable, satellite and microwave distribution in regional Australia, including Optus and AUSTAR.

By early 2011 FOXTEL is set to allow Optus to resell its IQ and HD services after the previous agreement that ended in late 2010 was renewed. The new arrangement may see even more customers receiving FOXTEL subscription TV services being resold though Optus's satellite services.

Moving with technology changes, FOXTEL allows subscribers to remotely setup recording from many mobile devices including the iPhone, iPad, mobile handsets and tablets running Google's Android OS with all the apps available to be freely downloaded.
