This report was archived in 2008 and has not been updated. It looks at regional developments up to 2007. Australia’s vast landmass and island communities are the most costly to service and telecommunications infrastructure has been less advanced than in metropolitan centres. However, the privatisation of Telstra has seen $3 billion allocated for regional service delivery and the associated infrastructure. A significant amount has been put aside for an alternative regional wholesale access network. This report provides a market overview of regional infrastructure and includes key available data.
