Australia Telecoms Market Report
Aussie telcos contract with SpaceX for national mobile coverage
The Australian fixed telecom sector continues its steady migration
from copper to fibre infrastructure, encouraged by NBN Co having
greatly increased the number of premises covered by fibre. At the same
time, more premises are able to upgrade from FttN and FttC to FttP,
and thus access a 1Gb/s service. In addition, the extension of fixed
wireless access will mean that up to 120,000 premises currently
dependent on satellite broadband will be able to access 5G-based fixed
services.
Penetration in the fixed-line market has been falling steadily over
the past few years. A major reason for this is the dominance of the
mobile segment and the growth of mobile broadband. The market is
predicted to decline further over the next few years as both mobile
and mobile broadband penetration continue to increase.
There has been some consolidation in the market through the merger of
the key players VHA and TPG, as also a number of acquisitions
involving fixed-line suppliers. The second-tier market continues to
grow strongly although it has eased off to some degree.
Within the Australian fixed broadband market, there is a dynamic shift
among customers to fibre networks. This infrastructure is being built
out by NBN Co, the Commonwealth-owned company responsible for
deploying the national broadband network, which is based on a
multi-technology mix including VDSL, fibre, HFC, fixed wireless, and
satellite. The DSL sector is steadily shrinking as customers are
migrated to the NBN, while subscribers on HFC infrastructure will
continue to be provided by existing cable within the NBN’s
multi-technology mix, though also with a steady migration to full
fibre connectivity.
The mobile market is dominated by the three MNOs Telstra, Optus, and
TPG Telecom. These offer LTE services on a wholesale basis, thus
encouraging growth in the LTE sector, while also deploying services
based on 5G. Optus and (since mid-2022) Telstra also provide 5G access
to their MVNOs.
Key developments:
* More than 40% of Telstra’s mobile data traffic is carried via 5G.
* Applications close for Round 7 of the Mobile Black Spot Program.
* TPG upgrades more than half of its mobile sites to 5G.
* Work starts on the 5,000km SMAP section of the national backbone
cable system.
* TPG extends due diligence negotiations with Vocus Group over the
latter’s bid for TPG’s non-mobile assets.
* Telstra and Optus contract with SpaceX to provide mobile satellite
service via the Starlink constellation, with data services
starting from late 2025.
* Report update includes operator data to June 2023, ACMA market
data updates, recent market developments.
