Yeah I agree with the comment above about illegal downloading. I don’t want more than 3 streaming services. I am contemplating getting rid of Stan at the moment and Netflix is something I wouldn’t get rid of.
I actually find Stan’s contents to be more curated than Netflix so I actually gave Netflix the flick but then again I only got budget for three streaming services and two digital news subscription.
How so?
I think it’s about choice for consumers, where they get an offer of streaming services that they can pick and ignore others.
Wonder when Foxtel’s exclusivity to HBOs streaming rights ends. Can’t be too far away if trademarks are been made.

In Australia, HBO content lives on Foxtel under a deal that is widely known to run for at least couple more years.
SMH. April 14, 2019.
That’s a US deal for Big Bang? It appeared on Netflix not that long ago here.
Correct. Also, according to their Facebook page, Netflix Australia will add Season 11 of TBBT on 17th October.

I can’t find anything online saying HBO Max would launch globally.
Read the first post of this thread - it’s speculation, and of course until they have a confirmed timeline HBO isn’t going to suddenly announce that they’ll be launching the service globally

Localised versions will launch in Latin America and Europe in 2021. Australia is not mentioned in the article.
If Australia is eventually included in the rollout, then that makes most of Foxtel’s big shows in peril.
Can’t imagine HBO will commence a streaming service here until their content agreement with Foxtel expires. Assume it’ll be amended that Foxtel will only get linear rights in the future.
