How much will Telstra charge for live games to Tablets and Mobiles?

[PaulyTom]

I'm a massive fan of the NFL GamePass. The quality of the live feed and the additional footage with in the NFL game pass is superb.

First question is will the NRL version be of the same high standard?

And secondly how much will Telstra charge for the season or will it be on a game by game or round by round fee structure?

If it is a yearly subscription amount, how much do you think Telstra will charge for a season of live games to the tablet? and how much would you pay?

I struggle getting games at the Top of WA. When I do, it's invariably between midnight and 4:00 am. Quite frankly, I'd pay almost anything but would need an i-pad. I can't imagine watching on an i-phone would be that good. And of course, up here the download speed is so slow, I doubt I could watch it anyway.

Any chance this could be streamed thru the TV like YouTube?

 

[Misanthrope]

More importantly, will this service be available to those of us who have tablets but live abroad?

 

[WayneBennett]

Will i be able to hack it and broadcast porn ?

 

[de$$ie]

it will cost your left leg

 

[Diesel]

Whatever Telstra charge, you know they are just going to screw over customers and NRL fans of other carriers

 

[Western_Eel]

I can watch game pass on my TV so can't see why you couldn't with NRL

Some one can correct me here, but if Telstra own 50% of Foxtel, why would they cannabalise their market share by showing their number product live on tablets and mobiles?

If they did, surely they wont be live, or will cost an arm and a leg.

AFL pricing has been released. $15 per month or $90 per year. NRL should be about the same you would think

 

[applesauce]

That's good value if the feed is decent.

 

[ek999]

Can't find anything on the quality of the feed. It can be viewed over Wi-Fi and you don't have to be a Telstra customer

Thats intersting, because I'm sure the AFL pricing was only $50 last year, so almost a 100% increase.

 

[Clarke]

Last year may have been an experimental year. Either way $90 a season is brilliant value.

How is Telstra going to compete all these sights that run streams illegally?

 

[ek999]

Better quality stream, able to watch on mobiles and tablets anywhere, unmetered if you're with Telstra, hopefully old matches will be available

 

[Lockyer4President!]

I wonder if the NRL app will be slightly more to offset the fact that the NRL makes some $$ from each signup, unlike the AFL

 

[mepelthwack]

Is there any information on this anywhere?

I mean there is less than a week until the season starts, I live in qld, support tigers and don't want to get pay tv but do have an ipad mini.

Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I wouldnt hold your breath.

The AFL app last season had a lot of bd reviews about video quality.
