Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Perhaps 19: according to a report from the Australian Communications and Media Authority on the availability of communications services across Australia, there are now 19 operators with their own DSLAMs.
The report, "Communications Services Availability in Australia 2005–06", discusses the availability of internet services, voice services, broadcast services and consumer demand for content and applications.
Other findings include: ADSL2+ services now available in more than 50 percent of capital city exchanges; emergence of broadband wholesalers other than Telstra; all four mobile network operators now providing 3G services in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney; Increased competition in the fixed voice market, with 118 residential VoIP service providers operating in the market, up from just 14 providers in 2004-05.
The report, the second on the availability of infrastructure and services to be released by ACMA, is available on the ACMA website. The first report, the Telecommunications Services Availability in Australia 2004–05 report, examined the increase in the availability of communications infrastructure and services since the Regional Telecommunications Inquiry (RTI) reported to the Australian Government in late 2002. The ACMA says the report is available on its website, but we were unable to locate it.
The ACMA says it compiled the report without imposing any additional reporting burdens on communications industry participants by using publicly available information and data already collected for other regulatory purposes.
It is working with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to merge future editions of the report with the ACCC's Telecommunications Infrastructure in Australia report to produce a joint report on the availability of communications infrastructure. The first merged report is expected to be released in the first half of 2007.
