Has News Ltd really been waging a local media campaign these last few years against the fibre-to-the-premises (FttP) National Broadband Network in order to protect his local pay TV operator Foxtel?
That’s the charge made by many of the NBN’s backers who claim that News Limited is conducting a fierce media campaign against the network because it will enable the launch of rival IPTV-based pay TV services to compete with Foxtel.
While it is intriguing to believe that News Ltd is personally committed to destroying the NBN in order to protect Foxtel, the argument does not really stand up to close scrutiny – although that’s not denying his media outlets have been strong critics of the network.
