Foxtel’s over-eager telemarketing falls foul of regulator
The Australian Communications and Media Authority has fined Foxtel $25,200 for breaches of the Telemarketing Industry Standard.
Foxtel has been under pressure from its parent News Corp to increase subscriber numbers and revenues. In its investigation, ACMA found the company’s telemarketers had continued pitches after consumers indicated they wanted to terminate the calls.
