 Australia - 3G - Operators - Industry Developments
The first 3G service was launched by Hutchison in 2003. After network sharing arrangements were signed in late 2004, more services were launched in 2005. The initial services are positioned in the top end of the mobile market where there is more room for special services and where 3G can be promoted as a premium product. In another first for the company, Hutchison became the first 3G-only operator in the country in 2006.

Australia - 3G - Overview Statistics Analyses
With the growing maturity of digital cellular systems around the world, attention has increasingly turned to the development of 3G cellular systems. The main objective of 3G systems is to provide a more robust network with a range of data and multimedia services. With 3G, plain data traffic, eg for emails, is starting to take off (rather than mobile content). A strong update in 3G saw Telstra's subscribers rise to just over the 2 million mark by July 2007. So, Hutchison dominance of the 3G market has now ended and BuddeComm predicts that Telstra should reach the 4 million 3G subscriber mark by the end of 2008, of a total market of 8 million subscribers.

Australia - Access Regime
One of the most critical elements for a competitive telecommunications environment is the access regime. It covers not only physical access to the carrier's networks but also access to the various products built on them. Over the last few years the elements that have proved to be of equal importance are: price, terms, conditions and customer information. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has been commissioned with the task of administering this process. Progress however, has been extremely slow as Telstra is using all its legal options to delay the process for as long as possible. This report overviews and analyses the key elements of the access regime. After a few years of relative quietness, Telstra started to increase its ant competitive behaviour again in late 2005.

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.
