Australia's second-fastest growing internet service provider M2 Telecommunications is poised for an aggressively-priced launch into internet television that will pit it against Telstra and Foxtel, which is preparing to launch into broadband next year.

M2's consumer brand Dodo will offer a basic version of Fetch TV's service for free with its $39.90 Unlimited ADSL 2+ broadband service for metropolitan areas. Line rental starts at $29.90 per month.

Consumers will also have to pay $69 plus postage and packaging for the Fetch-TV set top box, which offers a personal video recorder, 36 channels, access to a movie library of 3000 titles with 30 pre-selected movies each month and catch up TV among other features.

"Whilst a number of companies have an IPTV offering... we have launched what we believe to be some of the most disruptive plans on the market," said Boris Rozenvasser, M2's consumer director.
