ACMA Claims 2 Million Aussies Now Have SVOD Services

Australia’s Communications and Media Authority, ACMA, isn’t just a paper-shuffling government department but a useful font of knowledge, information and regulation on all things communications and media.

Its latest report is entitled ‘Streaming services – get the full story’ and it is absolutely jam packed with great answers to questions such as ‘Who offers SVOD services in Australia?’, ‘What’s the difference between SD, HD and Ultra HD content?’, ‘ What are my rights when using SVOD services?’, ‘What is a parental lock and is it available on SVOD services?’ and plenty more.
