Why is Foxtel one of the most expensive providers in the world

Maybe you should look at the curency rate and the GDP of the country. The fact that they earn a lot less than us.

As i said....I'm not debating the cost of living

I'm looking at the dollar cost of what it costs to deliver

Basically....if ASTRO (the malaysian provider) can make money at the rates they charge then Foxtel should be able to make money charging around the same amount.


To me the costs are pretty well fixed so for every additional sub they can sell can only reduce the overall cost per unit therefore profits should increase with each sub sold....ie 250,000 at $50 Vs 1,000,000 at $25

The answer to keep everyone happy is clear

I thought the idea that they could charge the price they do(foxtel) is because we are enough to pay it.
