The influx of Netflix, Presto and Stan won't kick free-to-air TV to the curb, reports Fairfax Media press.




The rise of Netflix, Stan and Presto will not kill off free-to-air and cable television in Australia despite predictions that 60 per cent of broadband-connected households will sign up for streaming services by 2023, Credit Suisse says.

Netflix, Stan and Presto have recently joined incumbent Quickflix in a battle for Australian viewers, which is forecast to grow the market to 1.5 million by the end of this year, 3.2 million by the end of 2017 and 6.2 million by the end of 2023; 60 per cent gross penetration of broadband households.
