Abstract
After years of playing catch-up, the Australian Internet market has reached a
critical juncture, where broadband usage is about to overtake dial-up for the
first time. It is evident that broadband will be the sole growth engine of the
industry although large-scale deployments of fibre, deemed critical to the
delivery of next-generation services, remains an unsettled issue.
This Telsyte research report analyses the Australian Internet market in 2005
and provides forecast for 2006 to 2010.
This report presents:
