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

[SnappyShark]

I thought the NRL was only going to be available to people that have foxtel and fox sports they gave me some type of speel on it when I rang in to cancel Foxtel i asked if it would be available for android and they said most probably not.

You'd assume so.

As mentioned Telstra own 50% of Foxtel, so what would they gain offering a cheaper alternative for League fans to watch games.

Yep I would be on it like ET on a mates wife.

I am hoping I am wrong though but I doubt it.

They own none of fox sports though.

Direct money to them would be better than shared money. And the future is Internet TV.

News Corp and Consolidated Media Holdings own Fox Sports Australia though.

Both companies also own 25% of Foxtel.

The future is internet tv for sure, but that will include all the rubbish extra channels you dont want. Dont expect to see Fox Sports available for subscription as a stand alone service any time soon.

Yeah I know , but Telstra have to pay huge fees to fox sports.

If they can avoid that it will mean more money in their pocket.

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.

Please let this be so.

So do you think it will be on Icrap only or also on Android as the AFL is?

I pay $63 a month just to watch my team we don't watch any of the other channels.

That's hilariously inept on their part

It will be for both android and apple. In line with the proposed March 1 launch there was the following post by the CrowdSupport team:
Someone mention our NRL Live 2013 app?

If not I will..... our NRL Live 2013 official app..has launched!!!

This is amateur hour, I think the app will be a joke

Got the same feeling.

Ok maybe not been looking further into it cricket and AFL have done this already so it will probably be better then we are thinking.

but then it is telstra and if the can stuff it up they will.

The 2013 AFL app has been widely panned in the reviews and is supposedly quite a drop from what they had in 2012. I can only hope their probs have been ironed out in the NRL app...

 

[Danish]

Panned in what reviews? The app isn't even out yet as far as I can see in the appstore

Hi All,

Yes the app was due to launch, however a few late changes were made, which delayed the launch, so stay tuned for the Official Release date later this week...
