It'll be 5 years in September 2020 since Telstra acquired Globecast Australia, which is now Telstra Broadcast Services. We spoke to 4 key members of the team about how Telstra's play into content distribution has been a global success for them and their growing customer base. Learn how in 5 years an Australian telco leveraged it’s APAC and worldwide network to deliver content for the top international broadcasters and rights holders.
