Page 2 of 2 ACMA’s report states that Internet subscribers were “another area of communications services growth”. Web site activity was strong: domain name registrations also grew with 795,368 “.com.au” registrations in the year compared with 612,918 the previous year. As for the broadcasting sector, “Australian television networks met the minimum requirements of at least 55 per cent of all Australian programming between 6am and midnight, met annual quotas for children’s programming (as outlined in the Children’s Television Standards (CTS)), and requirements for first release Australian drama programs (as outlined in the Australian Content Standard).” The report also includes the results of an “analysis of the consumer benefits and economic impact resulting from reforms in the telecommunications sector in 1997”. The analysis “concluded that total production in the Australian economy in 2006-07 grew by an additional $1.2 billion due to price and service competition in the telecommunications sector.” For more details, please visit ACMA’s website.
