The conspiracy theory itself is insane. Pay TV services, like Foxtel, have been smashed everywhere by over-the-top streaming services like Netflix. They were enabled by broadband which was rolled out much faster and at less cost under my technology agnostic approach to NBN. 1/2
Labor’s approach would have taken 6-8 years longer to complete and would have cost upwards of $30 billion more - leading to even more expensive broadband. The streaming services that have disrupted the bundled Pay TV business model do not need 1 Gbps connections. 2/2
So in summary, by ensuring NBN is completed sooner and at lower cost, the disruption of Foxtel’s business model occurred sooner than it otherwise would have done.
