> [@JohnsonTV](#): > > I wonder if Optus raised the subscription price to help pay for the six-year Premier League broadcast deal Of course that’s the main reason considering the new PL rights deal begins next season (when the price hike will happen) and Optus will reportedly be paying $100 million a year under said deal. > [@foxyrover](#): > > Stupid decision, with the amount of content that they have. According to an interview Clive Dickens (Optus’ VP of Product Development for TV & Content) gave to the Nine newspapers, Optus will be announcing some football rights acquisitions in the coming weeks. Depending on what rights they pick-up, that might justify or ease the burden of the price hike in some people’s eyes. One other thing - Dickens also said in the interview that Optus are getting close to confirming a FTA partner for next year’s Women’s World Cup. > **[Optus to begin charging phone customers for Premier League access](https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/optus-to-begin-charging-phone-customers-for-premier-league-access-20220526-p5aos8.html)** > > The move is likely to upset customers who joined Optus on the basis they could watch the English Premier League free of charge.
