Telstra is considering launching a TV service for both fixed and mobile networks, according to Australian IT. There’s no quoted sources, but apparently Telstra has issued a request for information to 13 technology partners about IPTV, with the idea being to launch both mobile and fixed TV services off a common platform. The corollary of this is that it wouldn’t feel any particular need to take part in Australia’s upcoming Channel B spectrum license, expected to be used for DVB-H services. “Telstra sources said the company was not particularly thrilled by the trial of DVB-H services it conducted last year with Foxtel, Nokia and Macquarie Bank’s Broadcast Australia.”
