Streaming companies asked to help manage mounting demand on NBNSubscription streaming services and online gaming companies may be required to reduce the quality of their streams to help manage high demand on the national broadband network caused by the pandemic.

"In countries where the spread of the virus is advanced we have seen significant increases in data use and traffic over telecommunications networks," Mr Fletcher wrote."I have written to all major streaming services asking them to do the same, and look forward to working collaboratively together." Government and industry sources said there had been no explicit request or direction to change bit rates at this stage. Discussions have focused on platforms having the capacity to make the change should it be needed or requested. The issue was canvassed in an industry meeting on the COVID-19 crisis hosted by Mr Fletcher earlier this week.
