Optus boss Kelly Bayer Rosmarin says video streaming services like Netflix need to do more to take the pressure off broadband networks as telcos scramble to meet rising consumer demand for data

.

"We need some sort of a redifiniton of our industry, at the moment there's a lot of OTT providers, whether video streamers or gaming companies that can have a major impact on the level of infrastructure-build that's required," she said.

Getting the federal government to put more pressure on OTT players is part of a broader reform agenda highlighted by Ms Bayer Rosmarin, which includes reducing the wholesale costs imposed by NBN Co, an improved NBN connection process and a fair allocation of 5G spectrum.
