[News] Slingshot will not charge for data usage for EPL fans

Locally owned telecommunications company, Slingshot, believes yesterday’s announcement by Coliseum Sports Media Management is fantastic news for the New Zealand market and individual content consumers.

Mark Callander, Chief Executive Officer of Slingshot, says New Zealanders have been waiting far too long for these types of OTT content services that are common throughout the rest of the world.  Broadband services have improved considerably over the last five years and the technology is ready to be leveraged.

“This bold move by Coliseum to secure the rights for online streaming of the EPL highlights the type of rich online experience that Kiwis have been missing out on. This will hopefully open the door to new opportunities and players in the market.”

Slingshot will proudly support this move by not charging customers for data usage when they subscribe and watch EPL (English Premiere League) matches via Coliseum.

“Our customers will enjoy high quality streaming of EPL matches without having to worry about their monthly data caps which is a massive benefit to all our customers throughout the country.”

“We look forward to meeting with Coliseum and discussing how we can contribute to the on-going success of this exciting initiative,” concludes Callander.
