"EVIDENCE is mounting that many Australians will miss out on next-generation ADSL services such as video-on-demand, unless Telstra upgrades its copper network."

At the end of the day - will video-on-demand be such a big thing?

Jerrek, if you're out there, some VoD comments please...

Ummm, where's Jerrek when you need him to make you all jealous of his setup...

Absolutely, this is the way the rest of the world are going and supposedly what Telkom are testing *cough*. In 10 years time (well for other countries, not us ) regular tv scheduling will be a thing of the past.

VoD will be huge. Have you seen the cr*p DStv are pumping out for 400 bucks a month?

Of course, in south africa, it'll be at least 500 years before we catch up.

um, is it just me or is Telkom also calling their VoD service "triple play"?

It depends on how many sources you can get content from. AFAIK Multichoice is in desperate need of competition. I'd love to be able to subscribe to HBO or Showtime.
