	Will aanet give ABC iView allowances?	View full version
User #88279 18 posts Iluvatar Forum Regular	I was VERY interested to see that iinet is contemplating giving its customers quota free downloads when viewing the new ABC iView programs. I ask: *Will aanet be a leader, or a follower, here?*	anchor posted 2008-Jul-24, 4pm AEST edited 2008-Jul-24, 4pm AEST

User #88279 18 posts Iluvatar Forum Regular	Err.... I would have thought to be a REAL leader they would have to be the first to say yes ! (at time of posting I couldn't see that iinet have said yes, either) Can iinet or aanet please correct me here?	anchor posted 2008-Jul-24, 4pm AEST

Unless aaNet can come to some localised hosting arrangement with the ABC, it will still cost aanet the same. And therefore still impact on what we pay.. I already get the stuff broadcast to me at something like 10 times the bitrate (= higher quality) and can already copy programs to avoid clashes in timetables. So, for the occasional use I might make of it, I'd be happy to pay. At the $4/GB excess rate that would be $1 for an hour's program.	anchor posted 2008-Jul-25, 8pm AEST
