Australia - Broadband Statistics - Business Market

Synopsis

The business market has been quick to embrace broadband – by 2009 the vast majority of the business sector had made the transition. Further growth is expected moving into 2010 despite difficult economic conditions in Australia. As business users gradually move to faster broadband access via ADSL2+ and, when it’s built, services from the fibre based national broadband network, businesses are increasingly embracing new broadband applications. This report provides a detailed overview of the key drivers and trends behind broadband adoption in the Australian business market. A number of market surveys are included across a wide range of topics including e-business, broadband usage, IT and consumer satisfaction and the farming sector.
