Australia - Mobile Broadband - Statistical Overview & Forecasts

Synopsis

In 2010, BuddeComm predicts that the total mobile broadband market will be generating $2.4 bn worth of revenues, the vast majority of which will be accounted for by 3G mobile broadband revenues. By this time the battle in the 3G mobile broadband market will have really heated up. The fixed wireless market is showing however only modest growth - operators like Unwired and BigAir are currently using pre-WiMAX proprietary wireless broadband technology, and have been patiently waiting for several years now to make the transition to WiMAX technology, however constant delays have postponed the launch. It appears that in any case, WiMAX has now well and truly lost the battle to the 3G operators, which will leave any future WiMAX operators to develop in niche markets only. By 2018 only 10% of mobile revenues will come from mobile voice; furthermore, that will be based on VoIP.
