Telstra has launched BigPond TV, a mobile tv service for its 3G customers.
The Aussie network's service will offer both on-demand and continuous broadcast content, and will include full-length episodes of shows. The programmes will be mostly archive, but there are some 'catch up' tv efforts. Overseas shows include big names such as South Park. It's also showing minisodes, squeezing hit retro shows like Charlie's Angels into just a few minutes.
Consumers will pay 50c for access to short clips for 24 hours. Full tv episodes will cost $4.95 per episode for seven days. Monthly subscription packages offering 25 clips or 55 clips are priced at $9.95 and $19.95 respectively.
