The new year started with bad news for Australia’s pay TV giant, Foxtel. The company has just announced that it was delaying the launch of its highly anticipated OTT movie streaming service called the Foxtel Presto. It was originally slated to be launched at the end of 2013.
Regarding the delay as the service is still yet to be launched, a spokesperson from Foxtel has been quoted by the newspaper, Aistralian Financial Review that there were complications from technical issues. The spokesperson said, “This is a complicated platform to put together and there have been a few technical issues. We’re double checking everything to make sure it’s completely working before we launch it. We’re aiming to launch it in the next couple of months but we haven’t got a specific date at this stage.”
It was only recently when Foxtel’s director of programmes Brian Walsh spoke about the company’s roadmap for the new year. He specifically noted that the company was making Presto a priority for 2014 as well as Foxtel Go. The date for its launch has not been announced.
