Telstra spokesman Steve Carey notes that video now comprises around 50 per cent of the telco’s traffic, but he says it has ruled out charges streaming video providers to access its network. Singtel Optus CEO Allan Lew recently said such fees could be an option for providing higher-quality service to companies such as Netflix. Meanwhile, Telstra is pursuing a deal with Netflix to undertake joint marketing campaigns and promotions.
