Seven’s Tokyo 2020 coverage will be available in 4K Ultra HD for Optus 5G Home customers
Seven has partnered with Optus to develop a channel exclusively for Optus 5G Home customers, which will feature Tokyo 2020 Olympics coverage in 4K Ultra HD.
To access the channel, Optus customers will need Fetch Mighty, an active Fetch subscription, a 4K-ready TV and an Optus 5G home broadband plan.
Seven’s chief revenue officer, Kurt Burnette, said the exclusive partnership will benefit the 300 current 5G sites across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, with 1,200 sites planned by March 2020.
What a great idea!! Let’s offer 4k streaming of the Olympics to the 10 people in Australia who will actually get home 5G, plus fetch! LOL!
Andrew, four have cancelled their contract.
Acestream + Sky Sports = Free 4K coverage.
No one will bother with the hoops Channel Seven and Optus expect people to jump through. They’ll either watch it in standard HD on FTA or they’ll pirate.
I’ll be sending my media dollars to the channels which are streamed by the pirates – at least I’ll get some eyeballs.
I can’t understand why commenters are always so negative on this publication.
I, for one, think it’s a terrific idea. We as a public should be supportive of innovators and champions of new tech, even if it’s arguably 2 years behind some other markets…
Australia needs to catch up, and I commend Optus, Fetch and 7 for pioneering that process. If 5G is available in my area, I’m keen to trial the 4K stream!
