Hannah Francis at the SMH:
Months after launching its bug-laden $150 iQ3 video recording device, Foxtel is still facing a barrage of complaints about the product despite issuing a second major software update last week.
Now cast your mind back to March, when Luke Hopewell wrote a big piece about the launch of Foxtel’s IQ3:
Foxtel describes re-working the platform that iQ3 runs on as similar to “changing the engines of a plane mid-flight”. It had to carefully execute a modernisation program that would see it completely change not only the way content was delivered, but the way Foxtel worked internally as a business.
I think Foxtel is learning that people build new planes on the ground for a reason.
