SYDNEY, Oct 1 Asia Pulse - Telstra Corp Ltd (ASX:TLS) has unveiled its bundling packages with regional pay-tv operator Austar, with customers now able to save up to 10 per cent on a basic subscription.

The announcement came after Telstra was this week given the go ahead by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to bundle its services in the bush.

The agreement covers rural and regional Australia - in addition to Hobart and Darwin - and is consistent with the ACCC's November 2002 judgment to allow Telstra to bundle Foxtel pay-TV services.

Those deals are now responsible for about 10 per cent of Foxtel's revenue, with Austar chief executive officer John Porter saying recently he hoped for a similar result given a green light by the ACCC.

Telstra Country Wide group managing director Doug Campbell said today the packages meant customers in regional, rural and remote areas of Australia would have access to discounted telecommunications packages.

"We want Telstra customers in rural and regional Australia to enjoy the kinds of benefits we've been able to deliver in the city thanks to our Foxtel from Telstra package deals," Mr Campbell said.
