Telstra is set to lob huge bids for digital rights for both the AFL and NRL in exchange for greater access to exclusive online and mobile phone content to drive customer growth and enhance the in-stadium experience for fans.
In an example of how Telstra intends to aggressively use football rights to win more market share of the mobile and digital market, Telstra will on Tuesday begin offering new mobile phone customers bonus 12-month access to either live AFL or NRL matches.
