Foxtel

Foxtel is a cable television and satellite television company in Australia, formed through a joint venture between Telstra and News Corporation. Half of News Corp.'s stake was later sold to businessman Kerry Packer's Publishing and Broadcasting Limited. The current ownership is currently 50% Telstra, and 50% to a joint venture company which is itself 50% owned by News Corp and 50% by PBL. Foxtel Transmitts it's cable service into the Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth Metropolitan areas. Foxtel transmitts its satellite service into some of these cities, as well as the Newcastle and Canberra Metropolitan areas. Telstra's network and Foxtel were created to combat the threat posed to Telstra's local call business by the combination of Optus Vision (now known as Optus TV) content bundling with Optus' local telephony services. Foxtel was the content arm of Telstra's defence strategy. Telstra's multimedia broadband network was originally the sole delivery system. Foxtel launched their Digital Offerings in March 2004.
