Synopsis

This report contains a range of analyses on key developments in the international markets, written by our senior analysts. They have been selected for their relevance to the developments in Australia, or their impact on the overall international developments in the mobile and fixed broadband, digital economy and telecommunications markets in general.

As overseas examples are often mentioned by Australian politicians it is also important to be aware of what is actually happening in these countries and what is not – and also, importantly, what is selective reporting or outright hype.

We start with a brief global analysis and then move into the American, European, New Zealand, Asian and, the hottest but perhaps less relevant market to Australia, Africa – which has nevertheless attracted the greatest attention from investors around the globe, including some from Australia.
