Telstra Media Group MD, Justin Milne, said the new service will serve the growing number of Australians who want the convenience of online or mobile news."Telstra is challenging other news services by offering a dedicated 24 hour online and mobile streaming video service. We cross live to important events as they occur. On our first day we covered the US Presidential debate and Prime Minister Gordon Brown announcing his rescue package for British banks. If there's something worth knowing it will be found at BigPond News.
"It means our customers could be on the bus, in a paddock or waiting for the dentist, and still watch live news as it happens.
"Telstra continually pioneers new and innovative content for our customers. We remain committed to being the leader in the region for delivering the best and exclusive mobile and online entertainment to our customers.
"Our news channel is yet another example of how Telstra's high-speed networks, whether they are fixed or mobile, are used to deliver high-quality media entertainment,” concluded Milne.
The news service from Telstra joins its "BigPond Sport Weekend" show that appears for 18 hours each weekend on BigPond.com and via Telstra Next G phones.
