Re: Foxtel isn’t a leader — It’s a follower

I've never had Foxtel, but it seems like a waste of money, since I don't watch TV that much and most of the content I watch is online.

I really don't want to get Foxtel. MacMini + Wireless N + The Internet sounds like an awesome idea.

I'm not gonna go into how Australia is fail, like I have before. AND I am not looking forward to the Government adding the filter. It's gonna ruin everything.

grr!

Movie piracy is also a similar issue, most movies are released in the USA before Australia, plus the release of the movie on DVD (etc...). I beleive that there would be a drastic decrease in movie piracy if everything was distributed at the same date and time worldwide.

I also think that content like TV shows should be licensed worldwide, not just in selected countries.

I usually hate awards shows, especially the red carpet, but the VMA seemed different to the traditional style awards show. The performances were awesome.

I don't have Foxtel, and so I tried to find video clips of it on the MTV website, but because I am in Australia, they are major failures, and don't allow the content to be viewed.

It would be great if they did more with the internet, and I think they are starting to go into the right direction, with their prompt upload of videos online, blog posts and photos, and also the use of twitter to work with their viewers, but I think they need to take it a step forward. Maybe a few steps.

They should broadcast the show online, and make it easy for people to access.

Allow the content to the ENTIRE world. We shouldn't have to download software to cover up our IP so we CAN view the content.

The internet is a large medium and now, there are a lot more people switching off the TV and using the internet as their source of content.

I beleive that networks should utilize the internet to work for EVERYONE.
