Sky Network, Vodafone reach accord on content service
Dec. 4 – Sky Network Television reached an agreement with Vodafone to supply its content into a new service on the
phone company’s mobile network.
Vodafone will bundle Sky content, mobile and fixed line voice and internet services, Sky said in a statement.
The five-year accord expands on the existing content arrangements with Vodafone, SKY Mobile TV.
“The extension of the relationship with Vodafone to become our pay television telecommunications partner will greatly
benefit consumers with the associated discounted pricing arrangements that bundling will deliver,” John Fellet, Sky
chief executive, said in a statement.
Vodafone competes with Telecom in the mobile market. Sky’s stock was unchanged at NZ$3.30 and has dropped 45% this
year. Telecom fell 0.8% to NZ$2.41 and has slipped 45% so far in 2008.
