 Australia - 2nd-tier Telcos - Revenues, Forecasts & Market Shares - 2000-2009
Four of the second tier players: AAPT, Commander, Vodafone and Hutchison now have annual revenues exceeding the $1 billion mark. With good wholesale prices in place, by 2008 the industry has increased the number of lines which they now operate independently from Telstra quite significantly. The key drivers here are players such as Optus, iiNet and Internode. The total 2nd tier market grew at around 5% in 2008 and we expect that the growth rate will continue at similar rate in 2009 and also in 2010. Detailed revenues, market share analyses and forecast statistics are included in this report, broken down by the second tier players as well as the three market segments: fixed voice, mobile and data. Additional revenue forecasts by major provider, product and service can be found in the separate reports: Australia - Revenue Statistics, Analysis & Forecasting (by service) - 2000-2010 and Australia - Revenue Statistics, Analysis & Forecasting (by provider) - 2000-2010.

By 2009, all the major operators were well underway with faster 3G network upgrades. Telstra is well ahead with its new-generation 3G network called Next G (3GSM 850MHz). By 2009 Optus' 3G HSPA network reached 90% of the population, completion is scheduled for 2010. By 2008 Vodafone Australia had completed its HSPA major upgrade to its 3G network to most major cities.

Australia - Analysis - Telecommunications Pricing
Telstra has been successful in maintaining its grip on the fixed market; it still reaps 75% of its profitable revenues from access and voice services. However, voice has become a commodity service and is now under threat from resale competition, VoIP and mobile substitution. In reaction to that Telstra has been rebalancing its services and has significantly increased its line rentals, causing a 15% increase in residential charges. Price caps, bundling and soon triple play are having a massive effect on the pricing of new telecoms services.

Australia - Broadband - ADSL2+ Providers
Though there are roughly 200 ISPs in Australia the retail broadband market is dominated in Australia by a small number of firms. Telstra provides nearly 45% of services and has roughly four times as many retail subscribers as the second largest player Optus with around 11% of the market. iiNet and TPG and Primus are other major players and each has around a 5% share. The remaining 30% of the market is shared between around 180 small and medium sized providers. Consolidation in the retail ISP market has occurred with a number of mergers in the last two years. The most notable of these deals was between iiNet and Westnet and between TPG, Soul and Chariot Internet. Of critical importance to ISPs is whether to further invest in DSLAM infrastructure as the fibre optic based national broadband network is built. Further investment will enable ISPs to directly connect subscribers to their network rather than relying on purchasing wholesale services. However in the longer term the NBN may render this investment obsolete as subscribers are migrated to the fibre network.

Australia - Broadband - DSL Market Overview and Statistics
While the resale of DSL based services using Telstra's Unbundled Local Loop (ULL) service was economically unviable for voice services, it did enable platform based competition to provide broadband services. Many firms have installed their own DSLAM infrastructure enabling them to provide fairly high speed Internet services via ADSL2+. This regulatory framework related to ULL has encouraged investment and the number of broadband users with access to services has increased. However a key concern moving forward is the impact on investment in DSLAM infrastructure may become obsolete once Fibre to the Premises (FttP) networks are built. The Governments proposal to build a National Broadband Network (NBN) may invoke changes in the regulatory environment relating to DSL based broadband services. As such the existing regulatory regime will need to be balanced against the emerging regime relating to the fibre network.
