Australia - Broadband - Overview and Analysis - 2008
Saturday July 26, 01:38 AM
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/117ae8/australia_broadb) has announced the addition of the "Australia - Broadband - Overview and Analysis - 2008" report to their offering.
BuddeComm estimates that broadband could add over $100 billion to the Australian economy, including the distribution of services to customers; and as a communication tool and by savings to health care, education and energy needs. Because the rest of the world is progressing much more quickly, Australia is losing out on competitive advantage. The key factor for this failure is moving from technology to affordability. While the technology has become available (ADSL2+), the price is too high for 60%+ of current broadband users. In the retail market, Telstra ADSL constitutes about 34% of the market in 2007 and resellers take about 49% of the retail market. Telstra Cable and Optus Cable constitute around 7% of the market each and other operators, around 4% of the market. The broadband market is beginning to approach the natural broadband subscriber ceiling of around 7 million subscribers. Approximately 90% of Australia's national network could feasibly be upgraded with a FttN rollout. We believe this will ultimately happen over a 10 year period to 2018.

- Synopsis
- Market and industry analysis mid-2008
